Hospitals provide doctors, nurses on premises 24X7
With many asymptomatic COVID-19 patients preferring to be under medical care, more city hotels have tied up with leading hospitals to run COVID-19 Care Centres. Around 1,500 rooms in hotels, including Ginger in Vadapalani, Taj Club House, Clarion President Hotel and Regent Central Deccan, have been converted into rooms for those needing quarantine. Hospitals provide doctors and nurses on the premises 24X7, and patients are also put on a proper diet, as prescribed by the doctors. Their medication, too, is supervised. Patients are sent from hospitals to hotels based on their condition. Clarion President Hotel, which had given an entire block for quarantining patients last year, has started extending a helping hand this year too with 150 rooms. S. Madhan Raj, manager-operations, said they were the first to get approval from the Health Department to start a facility in association with a hospital last year.
