UDHAGAMANDALAM: The Nilgiris district administration has launched measures to tackle the predicted third Covid-19 wave. The administration is holding back the existing 19 Covid care centres, said Nilgiris collector J Innocent Divya. “We are holding Covid care centres back as a precautionary measure. Periodical fumigation is done to keep them ready. Also, 1,000 more beds are being set up in six new Covid care centres across the district.” Currently, the district has 2,474 beds, including 500 in government hospitals. As part of the measure, the collector has written to the government seeking appointment of physicians and specialists, especially pediatricians in vacant posts and additional posts in government hospitals. “It was widely reported that the third wave could affect children more,” said Divya.
