On May 5, Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan announced that the state government would establish Covid War Room.

WHAT IS COVID WAR ROOM?

 Covid War Room is a team of more than 50 people, including officals from district administration, doctors and young volunteers and their duties involves monitoring and updating data on the availability of beds and oxygen supply in both government and private hospitals. They fill the occupancy in each hospital in the following categories- normal bed, oxygen bed, ICU, invasive ICU and non- invasive ICU. Every four hours, the data is updated by volunteers.

The team also monitors the stock of oxygen in each hospital consistently, to ensure adequate supply. The daily consumption, opening stock, closing stock of stocks, filling of a cylinder and the list of oxygen suppliers are being monitored.

THREE WINGS OF COVID WAR ROOM:

1) Monitor the availability of bed and oxygen supply in the hospital.

2) To shift critical patients to hospitals.

3) Consist of District Administration officals, who supervise the entire system.

Every Government and Private hospital across the district has a Nodal officer who updates the bed used and oxygen consumption. If any patient is facing severe health issues, the team of nurses and ASHA workers inform the medical officer and the patients is directed to the telemedicine doctors. If necessary, the patient is then shifted to a hospital. The emergency cases are shifted immediately. The Nodal officers of the hospital are alerted when a patient needs to be admitted.


So, I hope the readers get an idea about Covid War Room. All the Covid warriors are doing a great job for the protection of  people from Covid 19 virus.
