Dev 360: Navigating uncertainty in the time of coronavirus

Deccan Chronicle  

Let us face it. In an unusual move, the Maharashtra government has decided to “stamp” behind the left palm of all persons who have been asked to be in “home quarantine” in the wake of the coronavirus outbreak. The quality of hygiene in many quarantine facilities leave much to be desired But fear and lack of trust can have devastating consequences for public health. India has to improve its public health facilities drastically so that people are not terrified by the idea of being in isolation wards in government quarantine facilities. The government may need to identify buildings, procure oxygen cylinders, masks, cannulas and ventilators and recruit personnel immediately,” points out Rajeev Sadanandan, former Kerala health secretary and currently CEO of the Tata Trust-funded Health Systems Transformation Platform, in a recent article for the Observer Research Foundation.
