Isolation facilities at Rohtak villages lying unused

Many of the villagers prefer to stay in their houses

A 20-bed isolation facility at Rohtak’s Nindana village, set up five days ago, has been lying vacant, as patients with influenza-like symptoms in this village — the hometown of Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal — prefer to stay in their houses. In fact, none of the 46 isolation facilities in as many villages in the district, identified as Covid hotspots, has any patient. Rajesh Kataria, husband of Nindana village Sarpanch Saroj, said that the isolation facility had 20 beds – 12 at the Primary Health Care and eight at a school – but none was occupied.
