It will be institution’s responsibility to run a rapid antigen test, says government
The West Bengal government has issued an order that allows patients needing emergency care to seek immediate admission in any hospital government or private without a COVID-19 report.
It will be the responsibility of the hospital to admit patients without delay and run a rapid antigen test (RAT). In case they test positive, they will be sent to the COVID-19 ward and in case negative, they will have to undergo the RT-PCR test and be treated on the basis of its outcome.

An uneasy silence has gripped the city of Kolkata, whose streets were witnessing dizzying political activity until recently but where arterial roads are now ruled by the sound of hurrying ambulances.
The question uppermost on the minds of its people is no longer ‘Who will come to power?’, but ‘What if we need hospitalisation due to COVID-19?’ Hospitals in the city are already refusing admission citing lack of beds and the situation expected to unfold in the coming days is unlikely to be vastly different from what’s playing on in many other parts of the country, where patients are gasping for timely attention.
