The Yatri Nivas on Panchakarai on the banks of the Kollidam in Srirangam has been converted again into a COVID care centre.
The move assumes importance in the wake of a steep rise in number of positive cases in Tiruchi over the last three weeks. The management of Ranganathaswamy Temple in Srirangam, which owns the facility situated on 6.40 acres, has made it available to quarantine, asymptomatic and mildly infected patients.
After the city campus of Bharathidasan University at Khajamalai and Government College of Engineering at Sethurapatti, which served as COVID care centres in March last, were converted ino care centres again, opinion was divided on using Yatri Nivas, a popular pilgrim guest house, for treating COVID-19 patients.
