"Ring up once if you have any illness. We will come to treat you at home." This is the public notice issued by the District Health Office while making public contact numbers of ambulances of concerned rural municipalities and municipalities as a measure to contain the outbreak of widespread COVID-19.
“In order to check the possible spread of infection, the District Health Office Dailekh has a strategy to mobilise health workers to provide treatment to patients at home. As there is road access to 89 out of 90 wards in the district, it is possible to reach the doorsteps of those in need of treatment service,” said District Public Health Officer Thir Prasad Regmi. "If anyone shows signs of any illness, call us. We will come to treat you at home," he said, adding, "They have started treating people at home to curb coronavirus spread."
The District Health Office has urged the entire district not to come out of homes if they have fever, cough and breathing problems. The health office has issued a notice with a mobile number of ambulance drivers of nine local levels and shared the information with the public through social networking sites, radio and health posts mechanisms.
"We have kept 10 ambulances on standby to rescue patients during the lockdown. At least 100 quarantine wards have been prepared in different areas of Dailekh," he said.
