Bengaluru: The Karnataka Home Minister Basavaraj Bommai has turned his residence into a Covid COVID Centre (CCC). His residence at Shiggavi in Haveri district can house 50 patients.
Bommai, has also appointed doctors and medical staff to take care of the patients, his office said.
Stating that 50 beds have been installed on the verandah of the house, sources at his office said the Minister intends to have oxygen concentrators at the facility and thereby come to the rescue of patients with breathing issues.
Claiming that this is the first time a Minister’s residence in the State has been converted into a CCC, they said this would reduce the burden on the taluk hospital in the constituency.
Meanwhile, Deputy Chief Minister Laxman Savadi too dedicated the 50-bed CCC set up at Athani in Belagavi district with his personal donation of Rs 50 lakh. The CCC is housed at Athani’s Kittur Rani Chennnamma Hostel, Savadi’s office said in a statement.
