According to a government communication, in view of considerable reduction in the cases in all districts in the past two weeks, hospitals across the state may be reviewed to determine whether they can continue as designated COVID hospitals. The District Collectors are empowered to de-notify the government and private hospitals to continue their medical services. However in case of any surge in coronavirus cases in future, the Collectors are empowered to notify them again as COVID hospitals fully or partially, it said.
