However, it is slower in government hospitals as they focus on critical cases
With the COVID-19 pandemic spinning out of control and availability of beds becoming a challenge during this second wave, doctors in private hospitals are discharging patients on the fourth or fifth day if they develop clinical stability.
This is different from last year when there were specific norms on when a patient should be discharged.
V. Ravi, member of the State’s Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) and nodal officer for genomic confirmation of SARS-CoV-2 in Karnataka, said discharging patients soon after they develop clinical stability is essential so that beds are released for others who are in dire need of hospitalisation.
