District health authorities on Sunday sealed two private hospitals for flouting COVID-19 norms.
Sources said a joint team led by District Medical and Health Officer B Malathi raided three private hospitals in the town following complaints of malpractices.
In the first incident, the squad found several COVID patients in a recently opened private hospital, which applied for empanelment for treating COVID-19 patients. The hospital allegedly admitted COVID patients pending full-fledged approval, sources added.
In a separate raid, the joint team detected brazen violation of the stipulated regulations at a private hospital, where a lab was allegedly set up to conduct COVID-19 tests without permission. The team subsequently sealed the hospital.
