The Kerala Catholic Bishops' Council has directed all Catholic hospitals in the State to impose only the "minimum fees" for COVID-19 treatment. In a circular issued here on Monday, the Bishops' Council, the apex body of the Catholic hierarchy, as it appealed to the church members to pray for God's help in these trying times, directed the hospitals to provide tele-medicine consultation facilities and to provide the respective phone numbers to the public. The bishops also called on the church authorities to coordinate the activities against COVID-19 at all levels. The diocesan committees should ensure that instruments like pulse oximeter, digital thermometer, steam inhaler, masks and sanitizers are made available to those under COVID-19 treatment in their own residences at subsidised rates.
