Public warned against home isolation without ‘triaging’

Self-medication without proper diagnosis is risky, say deputy DMHO

In view of the spurt in coronavirus infection and casualties in Chittoor, the district administration has cautioned the people to immediately get them tested for the virus in case they show any symptom, and to get compulsorily registered with the ‘triage centres’. Collector M. Hari Narayanan and Deputy District Medical and Health Officer P. Ravi Raju conducted a series of inspections on the community health centers in Karveti Nagaram, Puttur, Nagari and Satyavedu mandals on Thursday. Speaking to the media at Nagari, Deputy DM&HO and district nodal officer (triage centres) Dr. Ravi Raju said during the inspections, it was found that many people after testing positive were putting themselves in home isolation without getting diagnosed at the triage centres.
