H.D. Kote: With the taluk recording a spike in the number of COVID positive cases, Deputy Commissioner Dr. Bagadi Gautham visited H.D. Kote yesterday and inspected the General Hospital, COVID Care Centre and COVID Mitra centre in the town.
Speaking to presspersons, Dr. Gautham said that home isolated patients must mandatorily stay in homes and not come out for any reason. Pointing out that public movement of positive patients will only help in spreading the virus, often leading to fatalities, he took the Taluk Health Officer Dr. Ravikumar to task for not shifting those under home isolation to General Hospital and COVID Care Centres despite direction issued in this regard. He instructed the officials to immediately shift more than 300 home isolated patients in the taluk to COVID Care Centre.
