In order to deal with Covid- 19 pandemic, South Delhi Municipal Corporation (SDMC) on Friday dedicated an isolation centre at its primary school in Andrews Ganj for treatment of mild and asymptomatic patients.
SDMC Mayor Anamika said that the centre has all the required facilities which include oxygen cylinder, oximeter, Infra-red thermometer, glucometer, BP checking machine, wheelchairs, water kettles and electric steamers.
“The centre has the proper oxygen facility but in case of any emergency, patients will be shifted immediately to the Safdarjung hospital. Each patient will be given a separate bed, chair, plastic cupboard, dustbin, toiletry kit, individual charging facility, digital thermometer, sanitizer, disposable masks and gloves,” she said.
While appreciating the efforts of all three corporations, BJP state president Adesh Gupta who was also present on the occasion, said the step is taken to strengthen the health infrastructure of Delhi.
“All three MCDs have come forward to provide their services and are developing these isolation centres for the treatment of COVID patients in their jurisdictions. He said that we have asked all councillors to join hands with residents and look for community spaces where people from the area can be isolated,” he said.
