Officials in the Tigray Regional State are set to start door-to-door monitoring for signs of Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) for residents across the Regional State.
Hagos Godefey (PhD), head of the Regional State's Health Bureau, has announced door-to-door checking will be conducted for four days starting from April 13, 2020. Residents will be required to disclose if they have a travel history and will be subject to temperature checks.
The Bureau will deploy over 23,000 healthcare workers, teachers and agricultural extension workers, according to Hagos.

Tigray Regional State, which has reported no confirmed cases, has declared a three-month state of emergency.
