Those testing positive for COVID-19 should not panic as the State has created a seamless system to manage patients, Health Secretary J. Radhakrishnan has said.
Following a meeting with doctors of the Government Medical College Hospital, Omandurar Estate, on Saturday, he said health officials were holding meetings regularly to assess the situation. Once samples were lifted and processed, results were provided to the patients, the Corporation and the Health Department, he said.
The Corporation has 96 vehicles to pick up patients and bring them to the 12 designated fever surveillance clinics for further tests, such as X-ray and blood profiling.
