Ludhiana, May 8

The district administration has set up 60 Level-II beds at Community Health Centre (CHC) at Jawaddi to contain the second wave of Covid-19.

Municipal councillor Mamta Ashu and SDM (West) Amrinder Singh Malhi inspected the facility and directed the officials to run the facility with utmost care.

Municipal councillor Mamta Ashu said the facility had the necessary infrastructure and that was why it is being utilised for the treatment of Level-II Covid patients to reduce the load on the other hospitals. This would also help hospitals to convert their Level-II beds to ICU beds, he added.

A team of doctors and healthcare staff has been deputed in this hospital, where 3 Covid-19 patients are undergoing treatment.

SDM Malhi said if residents were not able to secure a bed for their patient, they could visit this facility.
