On Wednesday, the Collector discussed with private hospitals and IMA representatives the arrangements to face the third wave of the COVID-19 pandemic. Twenty-four private hospitals had been permitted to provide COVID-19 treatment.

She advised the private hospitals to allot 50% of beds for COVID-19 treatment and to allot 10% of it for treatment under the Chief Minister’s medical insurance scheme.

Considering reports that the third wave could affect children more, Ms. Singh advised the hospitals to make arrangements for paediatric treatment.
