‘Inpatient level must be a criterion for sidewalks’

Pune: Covid Task Force State recommends the Maharashtra government to consider the number of patients treated in hospitals as criteria for determining the severity of restrictions rather than the test level of tests, such as other countries.
The chair of the task force, Dr.
Sanjay Oak, emphasized the need to consider the inpatient level because most patients tested positively in a state of not showing symptoms.
“The level of country’s position is probably high, but the rate of hospitalization is not that much.
We need to change according to the changes in the disease,” he told TI.
The country’s front level is 21% in the week ended January 10.
“Omicron is a lighter variant and infection is limited to the upper respiratory tract.
Therefore, we must consider the number of beds occupied in hospitals, oxygen demand, the number of patients on the ventilator and death as a marker,” he said.
At present the inpatient level in the state is 10-15%.
Nearly 85% of patients who test positively asymptomatic and only need home isolation.
Dr.
Rahul Pandit, a member of another task force, also said the basic strategy must examine hospitalization, utilization of oxygen and ICU usage rather than the test level of test, which is more than 20% in some districts.
“Only hospitalization can actually provide a clear picture of the spread.
Restrictions and sidewalks must be decided based on it.” Similar recommendations made by the Goa task force on Sundays.
A senior state government official said if residence in the district hospital exceeded 50% of their capacity, the highest limitation could be worn.
Other officials said the percentage of inpatient minimally throughout the country, including Mumbai, where the level of participants had exceeded 30% and currently around 20%.
“Most of the cases are asymptomatic.
So, we are not worried about the current increase,” he said.
Dr.
Shashank Joshi, a member of the task of other countries, on Tuesday wrote on the social media platform, “masks, ventilation, home management, and red and very high-risk people are key.” A senior health official said, “The new testing rules of the Indian Medical Research Council also stated that unnecessary testing should not be done for asymptomatic people in a high-risk and low category.” Health Minister Rajesh Tope said previously the state government was fully ready to handle the surge in Covid cases.
