Looking at the increasing trend of preference to home isolation for Covid patients in the city, the Bhubaneswar Municipal Corporation (BMC) has come up with a standard operating procedure (SOP).
The SOP will further streamline and strengthen the home isolation procedures or modalities for effective and efficient management of the cases before being shifted to Covid Care Hospitals.
“The SOP will pave the way for a 24X7 surveillance of the home isolation or paid isolation cases. They would also inform about their own conditions over phone and they would be given appropriate and timely medical advices and service,’’ said BMC Commissioner Prem Chandra Chaudhary.
People under home isolation and paid isolation can inform regarding their requirements, problems and consultations through toll-free numbers 18003450061 and 0674-2431253.
The patients’ requests from home/paid isolation facilities will be maintained through a register and the concerned teams would make a shifting after discussions with the Nodal Officer.
