On Sunday, Telangana State Health minister has conducted a tele-conference with District Medical and Health Officers (DM&HO) and senior health officials. In this meeting Rajender directed them to focus on providing proper support to Covid positive cases who were in isolation homes or care centres. Let us share here that as on Sunday, there were nearly 45,000 Covid positive patients who were under isolation. “A large number of positive cases, who are in home isolation, are delaying their admission to hospitals, despite drop in their oxygen levels. As a result of this delay, many are losing their lives,” he said.
To be noted that the Health Minister said that Accredited Social Health Activists (ASHA) in districts should visit the homes of such Covid positive patients at least twice to measure their oxygen levels and track other vital signs like BP and hypertension. Rajender said that “We have also urged Union Health Minister, Dr Harsh Vardhan to provide us access to rapid antigen testing kits, which can be purchased at the earliest,”. However, Instructions were also issued to DM&HOs to start treatment of patients with Covid symptoms and not wait for test results, which could go a long way in saving lives.
