Late diagnosis and delay in reporting to hospital is contributing to 75% of recent COVID-19 fatalities, Health Secretary T. Arun said on Friday. Addressing media, Mr. Arun said in most instances seen recently among patients who died with 24 hours to 48 hours of hospitalisation, they had waited for five or six days without diagnosing symptoms and reached a healthcare facility only after severe breathing difficulty. He appealed to everyone to visit a PHC and get tested for coronavirus symptoms such as a persistent cough, running nose, or fever.More Related News
