People under home isolation are breaching it in Palamu! Sources said the administration has no clue as to how many home isolation people are mixing outside when they have to be indoors for a strict period of 10 days from when they gave his swab for the Covid test.
Sources said the role and action of the nodal officer for the home isolation leave much to be desired.
One OPD slip issuer working in the community health centre Panki breached his home isolation only to get a severe tongue lashing by the medical incharge of the community health centre Panki Dr Mahender Kr Prasad.
Confirming this the medical officer in charge Panki community health centre Mahender Kr Prasad said this man Nagender has been warned to keep indoors and not to venture out of the home isolation failing which strict legal action will be taken against him.
Sources said the so-called containment zones built all around the district have one thing in common and it is its breach not adherence to it.
A Covid positive man in Belwatiker mohalla, who would have been indoors was spotted by others taking a long stride on the street unmindful of what he is putting under danger, said sources.
DDC Shekhar Jamuar, who is the nodal officer for the whole health machinery here when apprised of the violation of the home isolation said quite exasperatedly that he would ask its nodal officer to exert and assert for the adherence to the Covid protocols during the home isolation.
Civil surgeon in charge Palamu Anil Kr Srivastav said it is the prime duty and responsibility of everyone to defeat Coronavirus and not to invite it.
Srivastav said this Friday morning when he was out at 5 in the morning at Covid care center in Daltonganj he was the object of hate and contempt of the attendants and some patients for their grievances like doctors not available and oxygen cylinders going scarce every now and then.
Srivastav said had he not acted with head cool these people were just looking for any untoward situation.
Asked if there was really no doctor here when he visited the Covid care center this early morning to which he said honestly there was just one doctor and one doctor really can't attend more than 70 patients here.
Who is to see the deputation of the doctor to which civil surgeon said medical superintendent K N Singh is to see.
Srivastav said the medical superintendent has been asked to depute doctors at such a place where patients and attendants are running out of the patience.
The patient's other malady is medical oxygen cylinders going scarce every few hours to which Srivastav said sooner or later one gets the medical oxygen cylinder here adding we are t
rying hard to further streamline the access and availability of the medical oxygen cylinders here.
