For such centres, the Div Com informed 6400 bed capacity centres are established in every district.

He said in tier-two which is called as COVID-health centre patient who needs more care would be admitted. For them 1500 beds in centres have established in each district, while the last tier is hospital isolation wards where intensive care is required for the patients.

He said soon the sample testing capacity would be raised to more than a 1000 per day.
