Get tested upon noticing symptoms, says Deputy Commissioner
The Hindu
‘If people cooperate and undergo early treatment, the situation could be saved’
Udupi Deputy Commissioner G. Jagadeesha on Tuesday urged people to immediately get tested for COVID-19 upon noticing symptoms. One should not drag till the condition worsens requiring treatment in intensive care units, he said. ICU beds in the district are full and the situation is worsening as days pass with increasing number of COVID-19 positive patients, he said in a pre recorded video message. Despite asking people to get tested immediately after noticing symptoms, many remain home and approach hospitals in a serious condition thereby increasing the burden on the administration. If people get themselves tested and undergo treatment, if found positive for COVID-19, the situation could be saved, he said.More Related News
