Ranchi: The authorities in Ranchi allegedly demanded negative reports to officially end house isolation, local residents said.
As a result, many are reluctant to conduct Covid-19 tests proactively even if they suffer from cough, cold, fever or other symptoms.
In many cases, people make themselves treated through homemade treatment to avoid ‘unwanted hassles’.
According to the United States Guidelines, a patient with mild or asymptomatic symptoms is allowed to remain in the isolation of the house and can end it after at least seven days if he is not a fever for the past three days from the date of positive testing.
It also determines no re-testing.
Vishal Sagar Deputy Development Commissioner admitted that there was no re-testing needed to end the isolation of the house.
“The house isolation guidelines are very clear and do not need to repeat.
If there are no fever for three days and after seven days, the house isolation automatically ends.
But if anyone asks a negative report, then we must verify it and take the appropriate steps.
As far as barricades, we do it as a micro containment zone, “he said.
Narendra Kumar Jain (73), a resident of Blair apartments on Main Road, said that the authorities did not follow the norms that were prescribed.
He said, “On January 4, I tested positive for Covid-19.
On January 8, my house was battered as a micro detention zone.
I did not have a fever.
On January 10, I was again tested to get a negative test report.
I tell local authorities About it and urge them to remove the barricade.
When we talk around midday today, it’s not removed even after I negative.
“He added that such a barricade caused fear of psychosis among people and turned it off so that it was not proactively tested.
Traveling other residents of the same apartment, Indu Mehta stated that he was tested positively on January 3 and the isolation period ended on January 9.
“During this period, I had no symptoms at all.
But when I called the local authority / incident commander, they said unless I produced a negative certificate, they would not remove the barricade.
I found out the guidelines for the house isolation because my relatives were the head of the city hospital which was stand out, but it didn’t work, “he said hassles.
“More than a week back, I had a fever for one day and sore throat and cold for two-three days.
But I chose to talk to my doctor to get medicines but was not tested intentionally.
However, I have isolated myself to me Recover from those symptoms, “he said.
