Volunteers affiliated to the Jamaat-e-Islami Hind (JIH) and the Students Islamic Organisation of India (SIO) have set up an Information and Counselling Centre for COVID-19 patients at the Noor ul Huda Masjid in Alwarthope in the city. The volunteers provide guidance for COVID-19 patients including availability of beds in hospitals, connect them to distributors of oxygen concentrators and provide tele-counselling through a team of doctor-volunteers. The centre, which works from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. seeks to clarify all the questions a patient who has contracted COVID-19 might have. “There are many who call us, anxious about symptoms and what might happen to them. The fear of the infection is worse than the infection itself,” I. Nawaz Khan, Social Service In-charge - Tiruchi, Jamaat-e-Islami Hind told The Hindu.
