Northeast’s Only 'Pure Veg' Covid Care Centre Spurs Vegetarians in Guwahati to Get Tested
News 18The Northeast’s first ‘pure vegetarian’ Covid Care Centre has been set up at Hotel Rituraj in Guwahati, Assam. “It was the people from the Marwari business community at Fancy Bazaar who asked for a ‘pure veg’ Covid Care Centre where they could stay if they tested positive. In one of his visits to the busy market area by the health minister of Assam, people from the community expressed that they refrained from getting tested as positive result would take them to the Covid Care Centre where non-veg food is served and they can’t even think of it,” says Sanjay Kasedia, general manager of Hotel Rituraj. Though the stay at the Covid centre is a paid service, the accommodation of three doctors, three nurses, two pharmacists, and two lab technicians at the hotel is financed by the government.
