Stationing four doctors to look after the patients with mild symptoms, the five-bed isolation facility aims to reduce the load of hospitals which are flooded with patients in recent days.


“I along with a group of doctors will be stationed here to take care of patients from our locality. This only will be an isolation center, especially for those with mild symptoms. This will reduce the load of hospitals as the nation is gripped by the pandemic,” Dr Samira Byanjankar, a doctor stationed at the isolation center, told Republica.
