Hyderabad: Golf View played its Covid game well, pots coronavirus

HYDERABAD: Installing three vending machines stocked with essentials, forming a Covid-19 task force (consisting of 10 residents), usage of technology, accommodating staffers in club house and night patrolling paved the way to success in countering Covid-19, said residents of Golf View Apartment, a society located in Nanakramguda, Financial District.
“All the residents filled an online sheet with details including their flat number and essentials required.Volunteers would pack the essentials, sanitise it and keep them ready for delivery in the store located within the society. Payments were also made online and people gathering at the store was avoided. One person per family would come to the store and collected the essentials as per their slot. The online sheet was managed by a techie living in our housing society,” said Krishna Kishore, joint treasurer of Golf View Apartment.

Ensuring social distancing, sanitisation and ensuring immunity-boosting foods to staffers were also part of the plan chalked out to fight Covid-19.
“The club house was modified to accommodate staffers working in our housing society. Residents also donated money for staffers. When a store owner of the housing society said that he cannot purchase and stock essentials for all society members, residents pooled in money and gave it to the him,” said Mahender Singh, a resident of the society.
Yogesh Laad, treasurer of the housing society, said that they want to continue the healthy practices in future too.
“We want to continue the teamwork and optimistic approach. We are also planning to come up with a permanent solution to ensure scientific disposal of mask and biohazardous waste,” he said.
