Concept:
Any Individual, Association, Voluntary Organization, NGO, Religious Organization, Corporate, Firm or Trust may come forward for setting up a Care Center for asymptomatic COVID positive patients. Preferably the patients of nearby areas may be catered and may be discharged after 10 days (from date of positive test report) with an undertaking to remain in home isolation for further 07 days. In case health deteriorates, the patients can be shifted to the appropriate hospital by the Administration.

• Cots, mattresses and bed-sheets
