Home and Health Minister Anil Vij said three exclusive critical Covid care centres would be set up in the state to provide adequate treatment to patients testing positive.

He said these centres would be set up at the PGIMS, Rohtak, Kalpana Chawla Government Medical College, Karnal, and Maharaja Agrasen Medical College, Agroha. He said the arrangement of 100 beds would be made in these Covid care centres, where patients will be taken care of.

Vij said only those patients suffering from Covid would be treated at these centers where adequate arrangement of medicines, medical equipment, doctors and other necessary facilities would be made available.

The Health Minister said the Nodal Officer of the State for Covid, Dr Dhruva Chaudhary, would monitor these centres and also provide feedback and other related information to the government. He said, “We should not be relaxed until the medicine for the treatment of Covid is available. Everyone should follow the instructions issued by the government to prevent the spread of infection.”

Vij said the precaution was necessary to prevent the spread of the virus. Using face masks, maintaining cleanliness and social distance would help in preventing its spread, he further added.
