It has also started a Twitter handle for people seeking beds for patients
The Tamil Nadu government launched a unified command centre for COVID-19 management on Friday. It will be set up in all districts in a few days to suit the local conditions and to tackle local challenges. Currently, the command centre is focusing on helping sick patients get beds in Chennai and other districts, such as Chengalpattu, Kancheepuram and Tiruvallur, said an official. By evening, more than 34 beds were allocated by the command centre, which opened at noon. The centre will facilitate actionable intelligence for pandemic management, integrating the facilities managed by civic bodies like the Greater Chennai Corporation. Officials will be able to get real-time information to make decisions on bed allocation, an official said. The turnover time at hospitals now is over three hours, which is very long during a pandemic.More Related News
