Bengaluru: In order to make hospitalisation available to the needy, it has been suggested by the Treatment Protocol Committee to take stricter measures to shift 30 to 40 percent of the bed occupants who are not seriously ill but staying in the hospitals to Covid Care Centres (CCCs) or Step Down Hospitals.
Deputy Chief Minister and State COVID Task Force Chairman Dr. C.N. Ashwathnarayan told media persons on Friday that patients, whose condition improve and become stable after the initial days of treatment need not continue to stay there for 14 days or so. Normally, the condition of the infected becomes stable after 4-5 days of treatment and then they should be shifted to CCCs or Step Down Hospitals. This is applicable for patients both in the Government and Private Hospitals, he said.
