As many as 17 such centres set up in Dharwad district with 100-bed facilities made available in the taluk centres
Deputy Commissioner of Dharwad Nitesh Patil has said that extensive awareness programmes are being conducted and efforts are being made to convince COVID-19 positive patients of the need to undergo isolation at COVID Care Centres (CCCs) in the district. In a press release, Mr. Patil has said that out of the 7,000 active cases of COVID-19 in the district, 3,700 patients are in home isolation. “As many as 17 COVID Care Centres have been set up in the district with 100-bed facilities made available in the taluk centres. This apart, centres are being set up in the hobli level. As people are reluctant to take shelter in these centres, they are being convinced of the need to go to these centres and recuperate,” he said.More Related News
