Meanwhile, health minister Raghu Sharma urged the Covid-dedicated centres across the state to enhance their facilities. “Various in-charges of different units in these Covid care centres should keep visiting the wards to see the arrangements. A dedicated area must be created where patient can be checked to determine whether he needs a bed or is fit for home isolation,” Sharma added.
