According to Health Minister Veena George, the health department has decided to begin home care management training for health workers as part of Covid third wave readiness. She believes that the process of home care is better adapted to dealing with the growing number of Covid cases. It's for folks who are infected but don't need hospital treatment.
Veena explained that as the weather changes, people get colds, fevers, coughs, and bodily aches. These signs and symptoms resemble those of Covid. As a result, a Covid test is required to establish that the symptoms are not caused by Covid. As a result of the new version, health workers, Disha counsellors, and e-Sanjeevani doctors have been provided training.
She claims that preparations for dealing with the third wave have already begun. Hospital facilities, ICUs, ventilator beds, paediatric care, oxygen supply, and safety equipment have all been kept available as part of the preparations.
