ORDER:
    World Health Organization  (WHO) has  declared recent Novel Corona Virus Disease (COVID-19)  affecting all the  regions  of  the  world as  Pandemic. In  this  context, Government  of  Andhra  Pradesh  has taken several  measures  to  strengthen  the surveillance for containment, control and prevention  of  COVID-19 including “lockdown”.

2. During the “lockdown”, it is  to  be ensured that movement of  persons  is restricted  so that  people  stay  put  in  their  homes and  also to ensure  that  essential commodities  are made  available at reasonable rates.  Therefore,  the Government hereby constitute “State  Level Coordination  Teams”  as  annexed to  this  order. 

3.  The “State Level Coordination  Teams”  shall:

i. Ensure  effective enforcement of  the “lockdown”

ii. Take all measures  to  ensure that  Essential  Commodities  are made  available  to the general  public  during the lockdown period.

iii. Involve the  departments related  to  the  subjects allocated to  the Coordination  teams.

iv. Forecast  the availability  of  Essential  Commodities  in  the  near  term  and long term  and take immediate measures  required to  ensure availability.

v. Co-ordinate  all  issues  received at the 1902 Spandana  Call  Center, District  & State Level Control Rooms for timely redressal.

vi. Collate “Daily  Situation Report (DSR)”  to be submitted to  the State Control Room  by the Marketing, Civil Supplies  (including OMCs), Police, Dairy Development, Animal Husbandry, Fisheries,  MA  & UD, Panchayat Raj, Labour departments  etc.

4.  The  Coordination  team incharge  of  the overall coordination  will  set  up  and manage the “State Control Room” to  ensure effective enforcement of  the “lockdown” and  to  receive  calls/complaints  with  regard  to  “lockdown”  as  well  as  with  regard  to availability of  Essential  Commodities.

5. The District  Collector  will  set up  a  similar “District Control Room”  headed  by Joint Collector  to  ensure smooth  supply of  essential commodities  and to  receive calls/complaints  in this  regard during the  duration  of  “lockdown”. The  “District Control Room” will work in coordination  with  the “State  Control Room”.

6. In  case  of  any difficulties  in the manufacturing,  movement  of  essential goods/services  &  related issues, the general  public  can contact the “State Level Coordination  Teams”  and  the  “State/District Control Rooms” to redress their problems.

(BY ORDER AND  IN  THE  NAME  OF  THE GOVERNOR  OF  ANDHRA PRADESH)
