Flu clinic will be operated in Doon Hospital
However, it may take time to operate a separate flu OPD in the state’s largest government Doon Medical College Hospital. Doon Medical College Principal Dr. Geeta Jain said that this week a flu clinic will be operated in the hospital for respiratory illness. After this, patients suffering from cough, cold and fever will be treated separately. He said that-
Adequate quantity of kits for RTPCR and ELISA tests related to corona are available in Doon Hospital. According to Dr. Geeta Jain, this time the Omicron variant is not so deadly as compared to the first, second and third wave of Corona. Whatever reports have come out regarding Corona till now, no such serious thing has come to light in those reports. But whatever guidelines have been issued by the government, all those guidelines are being followed by the hospital.
