This center has proper facility of screening, 24-hours medical staff and latest equipments. The in-charge of Sant Nagar Isolation Center, Dr Navida said, "This is an isolation ward and patients will only be isolated here. We won't test them here. We'll send them to lab for the tests and accordingly, treatment will happen then. We have set up a 10-bed ward which is fully equipped and the staff here is especially trained to deal with coronavirus and these patients. Here the major role plays the precautions, not treatment."
