ABSTRACT

The ever-growing menace of Coronavirus Disease of 2019 (COVID-19) has ravaged mankind the world over. There has been a lot of exploratory work going on to unravel the pathophysiology of the disease and to come up with a rationale and realistic management protocol. Here is one such attempt to present the Government, Societal and Medical measures framed by Tertiary Care Medical College Teaching Hospital of State of Rajasthan, namely, S. M. S. Medical College and Attached Hospitals, Jaipur. These measures were undertaken for the entire state so as to curtail the rise of COVID-19 pandemic to some extent. The combative approach was multi-focal and multi-axial with the aim to address issues from all conceivable angles inclusive of preparative ground-work, fluidic containment, slowing of transmission, and appropriate logistics to ensure steady-state supplies.
