The Hindu
Corporation-run facility can screen over 1,000 patients
The Greater Chennai Corporation launched a triaging centre for COVID-19 patients at the Island Grounds on Saturday. This is the largest triaging centre in the city, screening at least 1,000 patients before they are sent to tertiary care hospitals, COVID care centres or home isolation. Corporation Commissioner G. Prakash said, “This facility will ease the pressure on the Rajiv Gandhi Government General Hospital and the Government Stanley Hospital. Mild, moderate and asymptomatic cases need not crowd hospitals. We are mulling over setting up one more centre.”More Related News
