“We have made arrangements for isolation and treatment at four hospitals- SCB Medical College & Hospital, VIMSAR Burla, Capital Hospital, and District Headquarters Hospital Jharsuguda-  till now apart from AIIMS Bhubaneswar which has these facilities. I have contacted Director of AIIMS Bhubaneswar in this connection,” Dhal revealed. He added that the authorities of Paradip Port have been alerted and Collector of Jagatsinghpur and CDMO will be visiting Paradip Port today to check the preventive arrangements made there.Explaining on the novel coronavirus, the Health Secretary said,” I would like to say that this is relatively big virus so the advantage is that when a virus is relatively big in size it cannot remain suspended in air for long and it will fall to the ground and then it won’t also travel a long distance in air, it cannot really infect more people”.
