Mohali, March 15

In view of a surge in the Covid cases, the administration today advised all hospitals in the district to avoid elective surgeries.

District Magistrate Girish Dayalan said all hospitals should dedicate resources towards the treatment of Covid patients. He said all L-2 and L-3 hospitals shall provide an inventory of their beds, including ICU/ventilators, to the district nodal officer and update the occupancy and vacancy numbers daily. He said six micro-containment zones had also come up — one at Shivalik Vihar, Zirakpur, two at Phase 10, Mohali, and one each at Dharamgarh in Lalru, National Dental College in Dera Bassi and Vikas Nagar in Nayagaon. — TNS
