Mumbai: ‘Check Private Hospitals, Cancel Admission Of Asymptomatic Patients,’ Says BMC Commissioner

June 23, 2020

Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) Commissioner, Iqbal Singh Chahal has asked the deputy municipal commissioners of seven zones and assistant commissioners of 24 wards to check whether the private hospitals in their areas have freed up beds occupied by asymptomatic patients. Even after nine days of issuing a circular, asking hospitals to not admit walk-in COVID-19 patients without informing the local ward war room, very few beds have been made available for symptomatic patients from the line-list with the civic body. The civic chief has given them 48 hours to complete the task.
