Bengaluru: Striking notes that are contributed, private hospitals and nursing home associations (Phan), in prepared preparedness for the possibility of the third Covid-19 wave, saying it is premature to reopen the school now.
Prepared by the Phana Committee, the report was handed over to the Health Minister K Sudhakar on Monday.
Public health experts from the Rajiv Gandhi University of Health Sciences are also involved in compiling reports.
It was said that the evidence clearly opposed the reopening of the school and quoted an example of Israel, where the school reopened last summer only to close again within a week.
The report said “100% new case” was tracked to school.
“In the US, schools have repeatedly opened and closed due to the spread of Covid.
South Korea turned back school five times.
In the US, 4.3 million children have been infected so far.
More children in the US are being hospitalized now with Serious infection rather than at any point in this pandemic.
If there is a window for us to prepare, we must accept it, “said the report.
This report was prepared last week, even when schools reopened for classes on campus for grade 9 to 12 in districts where the level of the test is less than 2%.
However, the report recognizes that millions of children do not benefit from online education.
“WhatsApp messages cannot have a major impact on learning,” he said.
“We have to open school but not in black and white.
We must have a meeting of parents to discuss what must be done if the case rises.
This will be a situation of fluid for several months at least.
There will never be an ideal time.
There is uncertainty And there is a risk.
“The Committee said the need for hours was to take steps and gradually improve school hours and the number of children while ensuring all prevention measures were obeyed.
Dr.
HM Prasanna, President, Phana, told TII, only a week since the regular class began to class 9 and above, and ideally the situation must be monitored for three weeks before drawing conclusions.
“Most children will have mild symptoms, but multiorgo inflammatory syndrome can occur among several children two or three weeks since infection.
We need to watch and then receive the phone,” he said.
In its report, Phana urged the government to increase vaccination coverage and engage with private health institutions.
Emphasizing the role of the vaccine, it shows that private hospitals must follow the hub and talk models to drive inoculation throughout the city and city.
“This model was followed during the first phase of the drive and the result was effective.
While certain hospitals were appointed as a vaccination center, the nearest hospital would advocate,” the report said.
The patient link isolated at home, the report also emphasizes the need to monitor patients better in house isolation.
These patients must be associated with the nearest covid care center or private hospital.
They include patients who do not require additional hospitalization or oxygen and those who have been dismissed from the hospital emergency department.
Dr.
Prasanna said the monitoring process of people in house isolation collapsed during the second wave, while it was well managed during the first wave.
“Private hospitals are willing to bind with the government to monitor patients in house isolation.
They can be associated with private hospitals near their residence,” he said.
In addition to other steps, the committee also recommends the hub and talking model to supply the supply of medical oxygen to the hospital.
It suggested the government connect the portal ‘search my bed’ with the BBMP bed portal for better coordination.
