In a recent meeting with the members of Team 11, the Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh announced that a new COVID hospital shall be set up in the Awadh Shilp Gram. Equipped with all facilities for the treatment of COVID patients, this facility would boost the healthcare infrastructure in the city.

This move comes after DRDO announced its plans to establish two makeshift hospitalisation facilities with over 2,000 beds. Reportedly, these hospitals will be set up at the Haj House and Golden Blossom Resort. Observing the grim state of affairs, such interventions become the need of the hour!

Break the chain of infections through early testing!
