Due to a spike of COVID-19 cases in Telangana, finding beds in a hospital for Covid patients has become difficult. Hyderabad is a big city, where cases are increasing by the day and hospitals are running out of oxygen and beds.
To accommodate Covid patients with mild symptoms, several hospitals are collaborating with some Star hotels to use hotel rooms to treat patients. The hospital will provide medical care for the patients, while the hotel will take care of their food and dietary needs.COVID-19 patients can now use the facility throughout Hyderabad.
If a patient wishes to use this facility, they should first go to the hospital for a preliminary screening test to determine whether they are asymptomatic or have mild symptoms. Patients with low oxygen saturation and severe symptoms will be admitted to the hospital. The hotels will only accept those who have mild or no symptoms.
