Health workers to be given training by Health department
Health workers would be given training by the Health department in the proper management of home care for COVID-19 patients, in preparation for managing a possible third wave of the pandemic.
The COVID-19 graph in the State, which had been on a steady decline, has now started to rise with the circulation of the highly transmissible Omicron virus variant. A total of 280 Omicron cases have been detected in the State so far.
If the highly transmissible variant results in a surge in cases, proper home care of mild cases can ensure that hospitals are not overcrowded and put under strain, Health Minister Veena George has said.
