The state government has also started home isolation of asymptomatic Covid-19 positive patients recently. The Uttarakhand government on Saturday released guidelines for private hospitals to treat Covid-19 patients.

Amit Singh Negi, secretary for health in the state said, “Earlier we had allowed private hospitals to treat those patients who were already admitted for other procedures and tested positive for Covid-19 during the treatment process in the hospital. This was done to ensure that patients who are in critical condition do not lose their life due to shifting to a government hospital for treatment of Covid-19.”

“Now, we have allowed all private hospital, accredited from the National Accreditation Board of Hospitals (NABH), to admit Covid-19 patients and treat them. The patients need not necessarily be the ones who were already undergoing treatment in the hospital,” added the health secretary.

As per the guidelines, the hospitals should be registered under the Clinical Establishment Act 2010, have a separate Covid-19 ward with separate entry and exit doors, 24×7 emergency and ICU facilities with specialists on-call. The hospitals should have a 24×7 pharmacy facility and oxygen supply with every bed at the isolation ward.

There should be a dedicated Covid-19 ambulance with the hospital and the authorities should ensure proper protective equipment (PPE) for all doctors treating the Covid-19 patients. The hospital should also follow all the norms of Biomedical Waste Management-2016 and should have all the required permits from the pollution control board and dispose of waste as per the guidelines of the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB).
