About 10 lakh households in Ghaziabad and another nine lakh in Noida were covered in the survey over the past 10 days. While the drive in Noida was supposed to end on Thursday, some teams will go out on Friday to cover the remaining households, said a health official.
Those due for routine and Covid immunisation will be covered in special drives this month, he added.

Dr RK Gupta, district surveillance officer, said given the surge in dengue, malaria and scrub typhus cases, surveillance will continue this month.
He said that 12 fresh cases of dengue and five cases of scrub typhus had been reported in the district.
