After severe criticism of its rules for Covid-19 patient admission, the Uttar Pradesh government has revised its order. The earlier rule stated that Covid-19 patients can be admitted in private hospitals only with referral of the Integrated Covid Command Center.
This had led to a huge rush at the centre for referral letters, drawing criticism on social media and the opposition.
In the revised order, the state govt has said that now Covid patients can be admitted in private hospitals on the basis of their test reports.
After admission by private hospitals, they will have to report about the cases immediately on the portal of the state government.
