PGIMER suspends Physical OPDs due to Covid case surge

In the wake of surging Covid-19 cases, PGIMER Administration has decided to suspend physical examination of patients at the outpatient departments (OPDs) of the institute from April 12 onwards. However, the emergency services at PGIMER will function as usual.

The decision was taken in a meeting held today which was chaired by Director Prof Jagat Ram and participated by administrative heads and heads of the departments and other key functionaries of PGIMER.  “With Covid -19 cases peaking at a much faster pace in the 2nd wave, we have decided to suspend ‘walk-in’ patients at the OPDs fearing transmission of the contagious virus to the patients who are already immuno-compromised patients and their attendants,” the Director said.
