Bhubaneswar: The Bhubaneswar Municipal Corporation has issued a set of guideline for resident welfare associations (RWAs) and residential societies to set up COVID Care Homes (CCHs) with 20-bed capacity.

The BMC, in a release, stated that the community living in gated complexes should open CCHs for suspected, pre-symptomatic, mild symptomatic, and asymptomatic cases of COVID-19.

Such facilities should be provided by the residential colonies of Central government, banks and PSUs in the city. Besides reducing the burden on existing COVID health facilities, such units will provide psychological comfort to the patients, the BMC said.

Following are the detailed guidelines for setting up CCHs:
