Panaji: Even when the third wave is good and truly ongoing and the country wrestles with more than 30% participation level, the state government says it will not establish a covid care center to isolate patients.
“We do not open the Covid Care Center this time.
However, 96% of the country’s population has been vaccinated.
Lightweight cases are suggested home insulation,” Director of Health Services Dr.
Ira Almeida told toi.
Almeida said that even homeless people were taken from the streets and vaccinated.
If such people need to be observed in positive testing, they will be recognized, he said.
While health services open isolation facilities, this is for international travelers who test positively on arrival, and are stored in isolation until their genome sequencing reports are accepted.
On Wednesday, the burden of cave active cases was more than 14,000, and apart from those who were hospitalized, all managed in house isolation.
During the first wave, the state formed several Covid care centers, because most patients did not have adequate facilities at home for isolation.
During the second wave, everything changed dramatically, with health services following a more liberal home insulation policy.
Senior citizens and others have comorbidities transferred to Covid care centers as prevention measures.
