Cuttack: COVID patients taking admission at the SCB Medical College and Hospital here will not be allowed to wear gold ornaments during their treatment in the Hospital.
The decision was taken after several cases of theft of gold jewelleries were reported recently.
The gold ornaments worn by a COVID-19 patient will now be handed over to her/his family members /relatives before the admission into the hospital. However, the patients will be allowed to carry their mobile phones.
