COVID Scare: Rourkela Government Hospital’s OPD Closed For Three Days

Rourkela: Rourkela Government Hospital’s (RGH) general OPD will remain closed for three days from Monday.

The decision was taken after a few healthcare workers of the hospital tested COVID-19 positive.

RGH authorities said on Sunday that the OPD of the hospital will remain closed to contain the spread of coronavirus. A large number of hospital staff have been quarantined as a safety measure.

Besides closing the OPD visits, the hospital also postponed all non-essential elective surgeries for the time being. Emergency OPD rooms 1 and 4 and the Flu Clinic will remain operational.

As many as 10 healthcare givers have tested positive for COVID-19 from July 4 to July 9.
