KOLKATA: Several private hospitals in Kolkata have identified Covid units and revived their old Covid protocols - including compulsory masking on their premises - following a rise in admissions earlier this week after a two-month lull.
A separate health team has been set up to cater to Covid patients yet again in at least two private hospitals, while another is ready to set up a ward once the number of patients crosses 15. At least three private hospitals in the city now have around a dozen patients admitted, and experts fear that the number may swell in another week.
