In Pune one of the construction industry partnered with testing centre and isolation facilities of local self Govt in Pune. Material Methods: 56 families( 213 members) were staying at construction sites during lock down and interval testing of COVID 19 i.e. Rapid antigen test or RTPCR was costly for the workers and even treatment at private centres was costly so the author suggested to take help of local municipal corporation and COVID 19 centres. The support was also extended for COVID 19 vaccination at workplace Cost saving. Results: 198 were tested for RAT and 6 were found positive, all were asymptomatic and then were sent to isolation at COVID 19 centres to prevent the further spread in the labour camp. Repeat testing was conducted at monthly interval and for consecutive six months avg 89% percent of the population tested regularly and positivity was rate was less than 2% where in general population it was 5 to 10 %. NO death was reported from the site for COVID 19. Covid appropriate behaviour by the workers was also found 90 percent during random surveys done as it was always emphasized during testing. COVID 19 vaccination of all workers at workplace was also done in this PPP model. Conclusion: Public private partnership during COVID 19 plays important role during COVID 19 times for the workers and cost for testing, admission and vaccination was nil.
