Health Ministry communication comes in the light of the spike in infections
To ensure ease of access to services such as ambulance transportation and booking a hospital bed, the Union Health Ministry has written to State governments asking them to ensure the re-establishing of COVID-19 control rooms at district and sub-district levels.
The communication comes in the light of the spike in cases. The Ministry has directed that the control rooms should be adequately staffed with doctors, counsellors and volunteers, among others, and shall be equipped with ample phone lines to cater to the assigned population.
Computers and broadband must be provided for uninterrupted connectivity and depending on the case load, they shall remain functional round-the-clock to provide validated guidance/support to the patients.
