As Chandigarh, joint capital of Punjab and Haryana, continues its battle against COVID-19, the setting-up of “mini-Covid care centres” across the city by charitable trusts and NGOs etc has come as a relief, easing patients’ burden in the Union Territory. As many as nine mini-Covid care centres have been set-up in the past few days with 400 beds and four such centres are already operational to cater to those with mild symptoms. According to the Chandigarh administration data as on Monday, 79 of the 384 beds have been occupied. The centres have professional doctors and nurses available to attend to the patients. They are also providing free food, medicines and necessary care. Many of them have arranged for providing oxygen through cylinders and concentrators.More Related News
