Hyderabad: Two quarantine centers with 700 beds set up
It is stated that none with Coronavirus symptoms would be brought to this college. They would be sent for treatment to Gandhi Hospital. Hence, none need fear, officials clarified
Patancheru: Two quarantine centres, with 700 beds, have been set up at Maheswara Medical College (500 beds) at Chitkul village and in TRR Medical College (200 beds) at Inol village, as part of efforts to check the spread of Coronavirus.
With the students having gone home because of closed holidays, doctors' families staying in girls hostels left on Thursday, paving the way for establishment of the quarantine centres. District Collector Hanumanth Rao oversaw the arrangements at the centres till midnight of Tuesday.
Additional Collector Rajarshi Sha, RDO Nagesh, DMHO Rathod, Tahsildars Mahipal Reddy, Swamy, Shivakumar were supervising the arrangements on Thursday morning. The officials at the centres are getting ready in view of the possibility of receiving people from Thursday midnight directly from the Shamshabad airport.
Meanwhile, 20 sweepers of Maheswara Hospital turned down duties on Thursday morning on learning of setting up of the two centres. They feared coming in contact with the Corona positive patients and thus putting their selves in peril. The college management is said to be making serious efforts to bring the sweepers back on duty. The TRR medical college is learnt to be making arrangements for keeping foreigners under observation for 14 days.
It is stated that none with Coronavirus symptoms would be brought to this college. They would be sent for treatment to Gandhi Hospital. Hence, none need fear, officials clarified. They stated that it would be better if foreign travellers, with the virus, were put up in quarantine centres, rather than being allowed to go home.
