New Delhi: In the wake of Omicron cases being detected in a few places in the country, the Union health ministry on Wednesday wrote to states and Union Territories, stating that patients of the new coronavirus variant have to be treated in designated Covid facilities with separate isolation area.
It has to be ensured that no cross-infection takes place and adequate precautions are taken by healthcare workers in these facilities to prevent transmission among other patients and healthcare workers, Union Health Secretary Rajesh Bhushan said in a letter to states and union territories (UTs).
