Amid the rising number of COVID-19 cases in the state, Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike on Thursday issued a fresh set of advisory to Resident Welfare Associations to enforce strict surveillance and containment of the virus besides the existing government guidelines.

The surge in Covid cases has prompted the BBMP to reserve 10,000 private hospital beds by January 16 to ensure free treatment for patients. The civic body has also streamlined the bed-blocking system. According to the new system, a mobile triaging unit (MTU) will visit the residence of a patient seeking the bed facility to assess if he or she actually requires hospitalisation.

BBMP Chief Commissioner Gaurav Gupta on Thursday instructed the Private Hospitals and Nursing Homes Association (PHANA), Suvarna Arogya Suraksha Trust (SAST) and the private hospitals to keep the beds reserved (in accordance to the government order) for Covid treatment.
