In addition, additional questions regarding high blood pressure and COVID-19 will be asked to selected respondents or residents.

In Chaah District, a total of 3,459 households were recorded, with 2,311 household representatives participating in the Population Census Project. The total population of households in Chaah District is 7,479 residents.
