Karnataka government suspended a health department official for not conducing COVID-19 screening properly. The suspension was announced by Karnataka Health Minister B Sriramalu on twitter. He said disciplinary action was taken after the viral video came to the government’s attention.
The health department official was deployed at Tumkur railway station after the government decided to increase preparedness against COVID-19 across the state.
In the video, the official, who is yet to be named by the health department, is seen seated, talking on the telephone and randomly raising the temperature gun instead of following the standard operating procedures.
This is how screening is happening at Tumkur Railway Station. The official isn't even reading the temperature and is busy on the phone and just doing namesake temperature testing. @sriramulubjp @mla_sudhakar @CMofKarnataka @PiyushGoyal @MoHFW_INDIA @SureshAngadi_ pic.twitter.com/BjrcoKSYoj
