The Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) has made physical triaging mandatory before any hospital admission. In a circular issued on Sunday, BBMP Chief Commissioner Gaurav Gupta said that the review of COVID-19 admissions in hospitals had shown that many patients were allocated general beds though their vital statistics were stable.
All zonal health teams (triage teams, COVID-19 Hospital Booking Management System teams, COVID-19 doctors, medical officers of health, health officers) and nodal officers of the control rooms have been directed to ensure efficient triaging of cases requiring admission to either hospitals or COVID-19 Care Centres (CCCs).
