As Covid cases dip, walk in for OPDs at PGI from Feb 14

Chandigarh, February 10

In addition to the teleconsultation service, the PGI will open the registration counters for walk-in patients for an hour between 8 am and 9 am from Monday.

The timings for registration through tele-consultation are 9.30 am to 10.30 am.

In a statement, the PGI said it would ensure the “requisite physical distancing among patients/attendants visiting the OPDs”, adding that “overcrowding can still lead to an outbreak of Covid-19 among patients and healthcare workers.” The decision was taken in view of a decline in the number of Covid cases.
