What is giving?
The Dar Strategy means: I detect, isolate and report.Through these three concrete actions, the District Administration invites citizens to act with responsibility and commitment to reduce the transmission levels of the coronavirus and detect and isolate suspicious cases in time.
In the first instance, the person who has symptoms of COVID-19 or who has been in contact with a positive case must be aware of this situation, isolated for two weeks (so he has no confirmatory test) and immediately inform those who had contact forthat they also stay at home during the same period.
In addition, you must report your symptoms through any of the two available attention channels: Coronapp or your EPS.
The objective of the DAR strategy is to characterize, put in isolation and test the cases and contacts of the people identified in health services, neighborhoods, urban or microterritory sectors, considered as high risk of active transmission for Coronavirus.
The people of some of these population groups could not perform their economic activities or saw the frequency in which they could develop them, with the aggravating thing that they could be infected when they went out to look for a necessary income.For this reason, measures such as the Dar strategy and the financial aids that are delivered to these vulnerable homes arise, in order to facilitate selective and sustainable isolation, as well as the mitigation of infections.
