Imphal, March 16 2020:
As an additional preventive measure to keep the Covid-19 outbreak at bay, a screening centre has been opened at Shija Hospital to check patients and their family members along with other visitors at the hospital campus.
Making the above statement, Shija Hospital Medical Superintendent, Dr Jugindra said that the COVID-19 has become pandemic but there has been no concrete facts/information regarding detection of a coronavirus case in Manipur till date.
If any such case pops up, necessary steps will be taken up with Medical Directorate consultants to ensure the safety of the public.
Apart from screening visitors in the hospital campus, necessary enquiry is also conducted about the person, he said, while adding that the authorities will intensify the questioning if the person is suspected of carrying the virus.
For this, a separate room has been assigned, Dr Jugindra added.
