PANAJI: With the number of fresh Covid-19 infections falling, except the super specialty block of Goa Medical College (GMC) and the South Goa district hospital (SGDH), all government hospitals have been de-notified as Covid hospitals.
The denotified government hospitals have been directed to shift all their remaining Covid patients either to the super speciality block or the SGDH at the earliest and resume full-scale normal activities as soon as possible, said the order issued by additional secretary (health) Vikas Gaunekar.
Regular OPDs at all government hospitals were stopped when cases spiked and the GMC and the SGDH were unable to accommodate all the Covid patients coming to them.
All the private hospitals that are having facilities to treat Covid patients are permitted to admit and treat Covid patients as per their capacity.
