One more nursing staff from Udaipur’s MB Hospital was tested positive for coronavirus on Monday evening. The 55-year-old nurse is a resident of Panna Vihar Colony in New Bhupalpura area.
The nurse was working at Corona Suspect Ward at MB Hospital from March 28 till April 19. After that, she was home quarantined from 20th April.
The nurse is said to be asymptomatic i.e. showing no symptoms of the disease. Asymptomatic Coronavirus patient doesn’t show any visible symptoms of the disease. In such cases, very few are aware that they are infected and symptoms do not give away much.
The nurse was in contact with her 62-year-old husband who is a retired LT, her 4-year-old grandson and 6 other people. All are referred at MB Hospital’s SSB Block.
Udaipur Municipal Corporation has begun sanitization work in the area. Medical Department has made Containment Zone and begun the process of screening.
Following the report, the administration immediately imposed curfew in the infected area. The district collector has directed the medical department to start a screening survey of the people residing within 5 km of area.
Citizens are requested not to move out of unnecessary homes.
Udaipur District Administration has given permission to open limited shops during the lockdown period from Monday, April 27.
The administration has allowed the shops for Fan-Coolers, Book Stores as well as single shops located in the residential area in the districts to remain open.
However, service-related shops including salons and beauty parlours will remain closed. Also, malls, shopping complexes and market in the urban areas of the district will remain closed.

Dotted by magnificent Aravalis, grand palaces, beautiful Havelis and mesmerizing lakes, the city of Udaipur is celebrating its 468th foundation anniversary on Sunday, April 26 on the occasion of Akshaya Tritiya.
Udaipur was founded in 1553 by Maharana Udai Singh II after his citadel Chittorgarh was captured by Mughal Emperor Akbar.
Photo by Wikipedia
According to the legend, Udai Singh was guided by a hermit who was meditating on the hill near Pichola Lake to establish his capital on this very spot. Since the place was surrounded by gigantic Aravali Ranges, dense forests and lakes, it was less vulnerable than Chittorgarh. Consequently, Udai Singh II established a residence on the site.
In November 1567, the Mughal emperor Akbar attacked & forced to give up control of the venerated fort of Chittor. After the Mughal empire weakened, the Sisodia Ranas, and Maharanas stood-up for their independence and recaptured most of the Mewar except for Chittorgarh.
Udaipur remained the capital of the state, which became a princely state of British India in 1818. Being surrounded by a mountain range, the region was unsuitable for heavily armoured Mughal emperors to be attacked. And therefore, Udaipur remained safe from Mughal influence in spite of much pressure.

The Rajvansh of Udaipur is one of the oldest dynasties in the world. Today, Shriji Arvind Singh Mewar is the 76th custodian of the Mewar Dynasty.
At present, with a population of more than 6 lakh, the city’s living heritage is the 400-year-old City Palace with clusters of centuries-old residences.
The city has been celebrating the rich culture and heritage every year on Udaipur Foundation Day with great zeal. It has always been an auspicious day for all the Udaipurites when one of the most precious gems of Rajasthan was discovered.
The City Administration along with few other social and cultural organisations celebrate the day by organising various events and programs.

This would be the first time Udaipur will ever see the Foundation Day in lockdown. Unfortunately, the celebration was not possible on a grand public scale keeping the health and safety of the people in mind. However, this will surely not lessen the love and respect Udaipurites have in their heart for the city.
As a responsible and true Udaipur citizen, people will celebrate the Foundation Day of Udaipur by showing the same fighting and winning spirit that the founders of the city had.
जिला प्रशासन के निर्देशानुसार रसद विभाग द्वारा कालाबाजारी रोकने की दिशा में कार्यवाही जारी है। निर्धारित मूल्यों से ज़्यादा वसूल रही दुकानों को कर रहे सीज।
लॉकडाउन की अवधि में जनरल स्टोर, डेयरी, मेडिकल स्टोर जैसी आवश्यक वस्तुएं उपलब्ध कराने वाले स्टोर्स, दुकानों, प्रतिष्ठानों को खुला रखने की अनुमति दी गई है।
जिला प्रशासन के आदेशानुसार इन सभी को तय कीमत पर व्यापार की अनुमति प्रदान की गई है। लेकिन कुछ प्रतिष्ठानों और दुकानों पर आवश्यक वस्तुओं को अंकित मूल्य से अधिक कीमत पर बेचा जा रहा है। जिसके तहत विभाग ने एक दर्जन से अधिक किराना और मेडिकल स्टोर को सील कर मुनाफाखोरी पर लगाम लगाने की प्रक्रिया को जारी रखा है।
इसी के अंतर्गत, रसद विभाग की टीम ने गुरुवार को प्रताप गौरव केंद्र के समीप स्थित एक सुपर मार्केट को सीज़ कर दिया।
जिला प्रशासन ने राशन की किमतों को नियंत्रित करने के लिए 21 मार्च के दामों के आधार पर रेट लिस्ट जारी की, जिसमें जरूरत की करीब एक दर्जन वस्तुओं को शामिल किया गया। व्यापारियों को अपने प्रतिष्ठान पर इस लिस्ट चस्पा करने के लिए पाबंद किया। राशन की अधिक किमत वसुलने पर किराने की दूकानों को सीज कर व्यापारियों के खिलाफ चालान बनाए गए। सेनिटाईजर और मास्क की कालाबाजारी करने पर 5 मेडिकल स्टोर को सील किया।
As the industrial units, vehicle movement and tourist places in the city come to a halt while people being locked inside their houses, the level of pollution has reduced drastically allowing the city to breathe some fresh air.
And due to the reduced air and water pollution, the amount of oxygen in the city’s lakes has also increased.
While one cannot deny the fact that COVID-19 lockdown has severely strained the livelihoods of lakhs and played havoc with the economy. But if we look beyond the quarantined homes, there is a see a city in bloom. Blissfully unpolluted, greener and cleaner, Udaipur is reliving the memories of an era long gone.
The most dramatic turnaround has been water quality in the lakes of the city.
The lockdown has come as a blessing in disguise for these lifelines of the city. And there are visible signs that the two of most popular lakes of Udaipur — Fatehsagar and Pichola – are getting healed naturally. With major pollutants like boat ferries shut down and minimum human interference, the lockdown is having a profound impact on the city’s environment.
If we look into the before and after the lockdown figures of the lake water purity measurement from the Pollution Control Board, there has been a substantial improvement in the purity of the water.
The increased level of oxygen has also enhanced the clarity of the water making the base of the lakes visible.
As per the sources, the Pollution Control Board takes the water sample every month to study the pollution level.
The following table gives a clear picture of how much polluted the water of the lakes was before the lockdown and how the lockdown has given a new life to these waterbodies of the city.
A young man from Udaipur, Rohitesh Upadhyay, bagged not one but two world records in the field of motorsports. Rohitesh, who hails from Udaipur, bagged the record of stagging the longest ever Sportbike Freestyle Riding done by anyone in India.
Rohitesh attempted this skilled act in the field of Sportbike Freestyle Riding on September 29 last year. The act named as ‘No Hands Motorcycle Wheelie’ is one of the most difficult tricks performed in motorsports.
In this trick, the athlete is not allowed to touch the handlebar at any time after the starting line, while the front wheel remains in the air throughout. Rohitesh managed to balance this specific wheelie for a distance of 125.7 meters non-stop!
The trick was set as a record in the International Book of World Records. On 17th April this year, the Golden Book of World Records also honoured him for the same record.
The motorsports athlete, Rohitesh has been in the field for the past 10 years. He has attended more than 100 shows across India.
The ex-TVS Factory Rider also broke the India Book of Records in Chennai in 2017 at Express Avenue Mall. The 5-hour long show started at 12 noon and extended up till 5 pm in the evening.
Rohitesh is currently associated with an international OEM manufacturer brand where he tests concept electric motorcycles.
He will be felicitated in December 2020 in Delhi for making India proud by being the first Indian to bring this laurel home.

The Chief Minister of Rajasthan, Ashok Gehlot on Tuesday ordered the deployment of 400 vans to be used as mobile Out-Patient Department (OPD) units across the state to ensure uninterrupted health services for the public.
The vans will be stationed at block headquarters and other important locations across the state. The public can approach these vans for any general health-related problem.
#COVID19Pandemic के कारण आम रोगियों को परेशानी का सामना नहीं करना पडे़, इसके लिए प्रदेशभर में बुधवार से 400 ओपीडी मोबाइल वैन संचालित की जाएंगी। ये मोबाइल वैन उपखण्ड मुख्यालयों के साथ ही अन्य महत्वपूर्ण स्थानों पर उपलब्ध होंगी pic.twitter.com/bWMMSmqi9Y
Amid the coronavirus pandemic, these 400 mobile OPD vans will provide medical services to people near their doorstep.
Since there are many hospitals in the state which have become dedicated COVID-19 hospitals, the general public is finding it difficult to approach the hospitals for their general health-related problems.
The Chief Medical and Health Official will be informed when any person with a serious illness will approach mobile OPD. The officer will have to ensure that the treatment starts on a priority at a government or private hospital.
The government said that is will take strict action against hospitals which deny treatment to people. The first and the foremost moral and social responsibility of a hospital is to provide treatment to the patient approaching them.
The CM said that this is a testing time for the private hospitals and they should fulfil this moral and social responsibility without a fail.
Besides, the government has also decided to appoint 9,000 auxiliary and general nursing midwives to strengthen basic health care.
