The Indian Red Cross Center will provide complete assistance to the isolation centre. Red Cross provided all the basic facilities, including bed sheets, drinking water, and pillow cover. Medical experts will visit the patients twice a day. Doctors will take care of patients during the night. Two nurses will nurture the patients in this isolation centre.

Under the direction of the taluk health officer, taluk AYUSH Hospital's Dr Ashok will be supervising the centre. If the patients suffer from severe health problems they will be shifted to the hospital.
