Daijiworld Media Network – New Delhi (AM)

New Delhi, Apr 8: According to an order from deputy commissioner Sindhu B Rupesh, patients from Kerala requiring emergency treatment, can be admitted only to K S Hegde Medical Academy (KSHEMA) in Deralakatte.

Permission has been given to bring patients by government ambulances in emergency cases for treatment and road accidents through Talapady checkpost. Patients have to follow certain rules. Restrictions have been put as per the yardsticks agreed upon by senior officials of both Karnataka and Kerala.

The patients wishing to come to Mangaluru should bring certificate from the local government medical officer stating that the patient is not suffering from coronavirus infection and that the specific treatment is not available at Kasargod. The ambulances bringing patients would be sanitised as per the directions of the union health and family welfare ministry.

Only a single helper, ambulance driver, and a paramedic are allowed to be brought into Karnataka along with the patient. A medical team from Dakshina Kannada has been deployed at Talapady border. The ambulance and patient coming from Kasargod will be matched with the check list along with preliminary documents after which the same would be allowed into the district.

    This is a disaster for sure. Now you see these people start even smuggling gold using this method! Lot of stock left at Kasaragod since the lockdown. Getting a medical certificate we indians are masters of that trade. It all depends on the border security from our end! Hope MPs and MLAs note that. We are not against the humanity. Hope KS Hegde Hospital first does the COVID19 test before anything!

    because the court has been made aware which hospital owners lobbied for Kerala patients. If the court gives them a choice you will find them everywhere in the city. It's easy to control them in one place even if something goes wrong.

    Kerala must learn that Kasargod is part of their state and stop doing stepfather treatment. Instead of communalizing and following communist rule won't work in modern generation. Open up, build good hospitals, Industrialize the state and stay away from dirty politics even in state, home and office. It will bring you prosperity, development of dist and more jobs for people of Kerala and Kasargod. With COVID19, issue surfacing in the media, I don't think people of Kasargod, Kerala will be Welcomed in DK even after the issue of COVID19 is over.
    Jai Hind.

    No Doctor can tell for sure by clinical examination who has the virus or not. Because 25 to 50 percent of normal appearing (Without fever, cough etc) can have the virus and transmit to others.

    Only one solution is to have spot test which gives result within hours.
    We have to presume every person you meet is carrying the virus. Then only all will take maximum precautions and prevent the spread.
    This virus is very unpredictable and can kill young and the old. Our goal should be to minimize the deaths.
