Civic body to coordinate with control room to be opened at Collectorate
The city Corporation, which had closed down its COVID-19 first-line treatment centres (FLTCs) after the easing of the pandemic situation, has now reopened some of those and is planning to open more with COVID-19 cases shooting up in the capital city. Over the past two days, the district as a whole has recorded more than 40% test positivity rate (TPR), with the city too having some major clusters.
The civic body has currently opened FLTCs at the Homoeo Hospital at Iranimuttam, Government Hospital at Fort, Manvila and the Samethi campus near Anayara. Though most of these centres have less than 10 occupants currently, one has close to 70. On Tuesday, directions were issued to open more FLTCs at Ayush Panchakarma hospital in Poojappura, Railway Auditorium at Thampanoor, Chacka and Vellayambalam.
