Declining 2nd Wave: COVID Care Centres, Pvt Facilities To Be Closed In Odisha

Bhubaneswar: The Odisha government has decided to close all COVID Care Centres (CCC) both in the government and private sectors in view of the declining trend of the second wave.

In a letter to collectors and municipal commissioners, Addition Chief Secretary (Health) P K Mohapatra said that the centres with patients will continue the treatment till they are discharged.

“New patients of the locality shall be referred to the nearest government facility,” he added.

This order also applies to COVID facilities run by private hospital partners.

He, however, said that all dedicated COVID health centres ( DCHC) and hospitals run by the government and COVID facilities in government Medical Colleges will continue to function keeping in mind the possibility of a third wave.

“All the COVID hospitals managed by private partners and funded by corporate partners/DMF will continue to function till the end of the approval period,” he added.

The letter further said that private hospitals under the Odisha Clinical Establishment (Control & Regulation) Act & Rules, will continue to provide treatment to symptomatic COVID positive patients at rates notified by the government.
