Thrissur: In response to the spread of the virus, a Special Task Force (STF) has been formulated in Kerala's Thrissur district to coordinate preventive activities against COVID-19. The members of the STF will work at the war rooms for the pandemic prevention and supply of oxygen.

The STF will be ready for any emergency round the clock. Notably, 10 of the 50-member force are women. Young people, who have been active in voluntary social service since the devastating foods of 2018, are taking part in the fight against the pandemic too.

The force is actively involved in procuring oxygen cylinders as the second wave is severe in the district. The members help in taking empty cylinders for refilling, helping the workers at the oxygen plant, reaching the filled cylinders to the cylinder storage facility at Thoppe stadium and disinfecting the oxygen storage room.
