With focus on tele-consultation, district may not set up FLTCs

Majority of cases have mild symptoms that could be managed through home isolation
The setting up of COVID First-line Treatment Centres (FLTCs) seems unlikely in Ernakulam in view of the current strategy being adopted by the Health department to focus mainly on offering tele-consultation in most of the cases and admitting in treatment facilities only those with serious co-morbidities.
The demand for FLTCs, which were available in the peak of the second wave, has not come yet even from local bodies witnessing a spike in the number of COVID-19 cases.
Even the Domiciliary Care Centre (DCC), which was opened following the third wave at Mattancherry, has not yet seen an admission. There has been no enquiry yet for admission at the DCC as the majority of the cases were showing mild symptoms that could be managed through home isolation.
