ಕೋವಿಡ್ ಸೋಂಕಿತರ ಚಿಕಿತ್ಸೆಗೆ ಖಾಸಗಿ ಆಸ್ಪತ್ರೆಗಳು ಸರ್ಕಾರದ ಜೊತೆ ಕೈಜೋಡಿಸಬೇಕಿದೆ. ಇಂದು ಅಪೋಲೊ ಮತ್ತು ವಿಕ್ರಂ ಆಸ್ಪತ್ರೆಯ ವಿರುದ್ಧ ಕ್ರಿಮಿನಲ್ ಮೊಕದ್ದಮೆ ಹೂಡಲಾಗಿದ್ದು, 2 ದಿನಗಳ ಕಾಲ OPD ವಿಭಾಗವನ್ನು ಮುಚ್ಚಿಸಲಾಗಿದೆ. ಅಸಹಕಾರ ತೋರುವ ಯಾವುದೇ ಆಸ್ಪತ್ರೆಯದರೂ ನಿರ್ದಾಕ್ಷಿಣ್ಯ ಕಾನೂನು ಕ್ರಮ ಕೈಗೊಳ್ಳುವುದು ನಿಶ್ಚಿತ.@BSYBJP pic.twitter.com/p4HXGPVETX
