Hyderabad: In an effort to make more beds available for COVID-19 patients, hospitals in the city turned to hotels to provide isolation for those with asymptomatic and mild symptomatic infections.
Many hospitals have partnered with several hotels in this regard.
To utilize the hotel isolation facility, patients must be approved by the relevant hospital. Among the basic amenities, three meals a day, a doctor and a nurse will be provided at the hotels.
A preliminary screening test will be done in the hospital to know what the severity of COVID-19. If the patient has severe symptoms and has lower oxygen levels, the hospital will provide the bed in their own institution, based on availability. Patients with asymptomatic or mild symptomatic conditions will receive isolation accommodation at the restricted hotels.
While the hotel rooms are used to accommodate the hotel COVID-19 patients, the hospitals would provide the necessary medical assistance at these facilities. Some of the hotels are even equipped with oxygen concentrators.
Below are the hospitals and hotels that worked together in Hyderabad, as indicated in a report by The News Minute.
