Chief minister Mamata Banerjee today asked the private nursing homes to exercise utmost carefulness and put in place proper steps to keep their ICCU units spic and span and infection-free in the face of covid infections, which was spreading in other states.
Calling upon the private nursing homes, the chief minister said, “I will request the private nursing home authorities to keep its ICCU units clean and infection-free. Though there is no such alarming threat as yet like the US or Spain, my concern is for those who have co-morbidities, who I think should wear masks, if they go to crowded places.”
