Mysore/Mysuru: As fresh COVID-19 positive cases are being reported from across the District almost every other day in the past couple of weeks, Mysuru Deputy Commissioner Abhiram G. Sankar has warned private hospitals of action if they fail to submit details of SARI (Severe Acute Respiratory Illness), ILI (Influenza Like Illness) and COVID-19 symptomatic patients, who are treated in their respective hospitals, on a daily basis.
The DC said that in the wake of spurt in COVID positive cases, private hospitals were asked over phone and via e-mail to upload medical reports of patients who visited their hospitals complaining of symptoms similar to SARI, ILI and COVID diseases, through the website http://kpme.karnataka.tech/index.php/login, on a daily basis. But some hospitals are found not doing so and this was evident from the fact that an elderly man, who died recently, was found COVID positive a few days after his death and in another case, the hospital authorities had failed to report the death of a man due to COVID, he said.
