NASHIK: The Cantonment Board Deolali (CBD) has turned its high school into an out patient department as the Cantonment hospital is busy treating Covid-19 patients since May 2.
The district administration had asked the CBD to treat its first Covid-19 patient at the cantonment hospital so that the patient doesn’t have to travel 20 kilometre for getting admitted to another hospital and increase the risk of spreading the disease.
CBD chief executive officer Ajay Kumar said, “Since the Cantonment hospital was treating the Covid-19 patients, other patients who were visiting the hospital were facing issues. Hence, we have used five rooms on the ground floor of the Cantonment High School.”
