Telangana Govt To Supply Steroids In COVID-19 Home Isolation Kit May 03, 2021, 11:35 IST
The Telangana government has now completed testing 1.30 crore samples and has reached 3.50 lakh sample testing per million population. As the cases are increasing, the state government has started taking quick measures to adopt the syndromic approach to curb the spread of coronavirus cases during the second wave of the pandemic.
The main aim of this is to ensure everyone with coronavirus symptoms get access to early treatment, without waiting on the diagnosis. Doing so would reduce hospitalisation and oxygen dependency.
The patients who have tested positive for COVID-19 and showing mild symptoms are staying at home. If patients have fever above 101 degrees, then they are suggested to take steroids.
New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo announced on Saturday that New York State is expanding its deployment of community vaccination kits to include a site in Buffalo.
