Random sampling is done for sero survey to know the spread of corona more closely. In the sero survey, people with one blood group are examined by taking serum in the hotspot areas of Corona, for this the family history is also ascertained, but before this, the health team first goes to the homes of the people and takes written permission from them, The survey is conducted in collaboration with officials of the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) and the National Center for Disease Control (NCDC) and state health departments.
