Bengaluru: Home minister Basavaraj Bommai infirmed that the government will soon release daily bulletins on the availability of beds for Covid patients in Bengaluru and other parts of the state on the model of daily health bulletins that are being issued.
Basavaraj Bommai along with Revenue Minister R Ashoka, Forest Minister Aravind Limbavali visited Arogya Bhavan and BBMP war rooms to discuss measures to streamline the system.
Addressing pressperson Ashoka said, “Goverbnment is increasing the bed capacity and we want to bring in a system where patients will be admitted to Covid Care Centres (CCC) first.
“The doctors will then decide whether the patient can be treated at the CCC, or should be shifted to a hospital based on the patient’s condition. This will help to ensure that oxygen beds are utilised properly,” he added.
Meanwhile, Bommai said that stern action will be taken against those involved in bed blocking and the government is taking several measures to streamline the system.
