The Hindu
It plans to have one in each Assembly constituency
With the number of new COVID-19 cases jumping by more than 1,000 in a single day to touch 2,053 on Tuesday, the civic body has decided to reopen COVID-19 Care Centres (CCC). The Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) is looking at establishing one CCC in each Assembly constituency in the city. This comes days after the Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) had recommended making them operational again.
On Tuesday, after inspecting the CCC at Kempegowda Community Hall at Nandini Layout in Mahalakshmi Layout Assembly constituency that has been established under CSR (corporate social responsibility), BBMP’s chief commissioner Gaurav Gupta said that health officials had been directed to check the feasibility and keep CCCs ready.
