Patients at triaging centres may get priority
The Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) is working towards putting in place a system where COVID-19 patients at triaging centres will be prioritised in the government quota bed allocation system. Chief Commissioner Gaurav Gupta, during a virtual meeting with Bangalore Apartments’ Federation and residents’ welfare associations on Wednesday, said that the civic body was still toying with the idea. The BBMP is operating 48 COVID-19 Care Centres (CCCs) and physical triaging centres in the city. Those who have tested positive can walk into any of these centres for physical triaging or stabilisation. In the current system, if medical intervention is required, the centre will refer the patient to a hospital.
