According to officials of the Health Department, almost all beds in the isolation centres that were set up in 50 villages of the district a week ago had also been lying unoccupied mainly due to the fact that a majority of the patients in rural pockets prefer to be quarantined at their homes, where their kin look after them.
With a drop in Covid cases in the district, the occupancy of beds with oxygen support in various hospitals has dipped to 30 per cent. Around 90 per cent of isolation beds are also lying vacant in the district.
“Of 425 isolation beds set up in Covid care centres in the past one month, almost 90 per cent have remained unoccupied since the facility came into being,” reveals Vikas Kumar, secretary, District Red Cross Society.
Claiming that only 12 to 13 beds of total 75 isolation beds at the district de-addiction centre in Sector 14 had been occupied so far, he said 90 to 95 per cent beds in three other such facilities in the city, with a capacity of 350 set up by residents or private institutions, had also been lying vacant due to a drop in the number of Covid patients.
Similarly according to officials of the Health Department, almost all beds in the isolation centres that were set up in 50 villages of the district a week ago had also been lying unoccupied mainly due to the fact that a majority of the patients in rural pockets prefer to be quarantined at their homes, where their kin look after them.
“The Isolation centres set up in rural areas had no additional facility other than beds and this was perhaps the main drawback. Residents having homes nearby do not want to shift to the centre even if there are symptoms,” says Jaswant of Chandawali village.
