To combat COVID-19, the Chief Minister on Monday had announced launch of a dedicated Telemedicine Helpline-14410 to provide medical assistance to potential COVID-19
cases across the state and appealed to doctors to support the cause by rendering voluntary service.
Bagchi further said that 34 COVID-19 hospitals/isolation centres with 5697 bed capacity are being planned for treatment of COVID-19 patients in the state. “Of these, seven
special COVID-19 Hospitals are already functional,” he said.
