Govt. bars people with mild illnesses from visiting hospitals

This is for non-COVID patients and is aimed at curbing spread of infection

In an indication that the next two-three weeks are crucial, the State Government on Saturday issued a public notification stating that only sick patients and those requiring emergency care should visit the hospitals for the next two weeks. This is to prevent crowding and the spread of COVID-19 among patients.

“Patients with mild illness, which require outpatient care/ follow-up care/ elective surgeries, including dental issues, should not visit the hospitals for the next two weeks or till further orders,” stated the notification issued by T.K. Anil Kumar, Principal Secretary (Health and Family Welfare).
