BERHAMPUR: The
Ganjam administration, which had decided to shut the
Tata Covid Hospital in Sitalapalli — one of the three such healthcare centres in the district — owing to a steady decline in the flow of patients, has had a change of mind. The administration will now allow only the hospital’s intensive care unit (
ICU) with 55
beds to function.
“We have taken this decision amid apprehensions of a
second wave of
infection,” district collector (Ganjam) Vijay Amruta Kulange said. The other beds in the hospital, which has 220 beds, will be out of bounds for
Covid patients.
