Coronavirus | Visitors, attenders prohibited in TN’s isolation wards

The Director of Public Health has said information desks may be set up for updating patients’ statuses to their relatives

Visitors and attenders are prohibited from meeting patients admitted in isolation wards of COVID-19 dedicated hospitals, institutions and COVID-19 health centres to avoid the spread of infection. Due to the rise in patient load and inadequate manpower to take care of patients, many hospitals were allowing relatives of patients inside the isolation wards, which was not the practice during the first wave of COVID-19.
