Self-quarantine best solution to fight Coronavirus: Dr. Srinivas Kakkilaya
Mangaluru: Consultant Physician at Spandana Centre for Metabolic Medicine, Dr. Srinivas Kakkilaya in a Facebook post predicted that the Coronavirus cases are like to increase substantially over the next 3 – 6 weeks and will reach stage 3 and 4 despite best efforts to contain the infected persons and their contacts.
Dr. Kakkilaya stressed upon the need to set up special temporary hospitals at Taluka and District levels for COVID respiratory care and to train the necessary manpower in the next two weeks.
He also pressed on publicizing the importance of self-quarantine of the infected people while claiming that in 85% of the Corona Virus cases, patients will only need to self-quarantine themselves. He also added that these cases doesn’t need any testing or medicine and that the infection will be cured on its own if the patient self-quarantine themselves.
“Self-quarantine, no tests, no calls unless significantly ill, dedicated ambulances to carry the needy and establishment of temporary hospitals are the only measures that will be of help
“Self-quarantine of infected persons (85% of cases will need only this) must be publicized and promoted widely, so that people can understand the concept and co-operate. These cases do not need testing nor do they need medicines and the infection will get cured in a week on its own” Dr. Kakkilaya added in the post.
He also claimed that patients getting desperate and seeking medical attention and treatment from many doctors only risks to further spread the infection and was important that the patients remain in self-quarantine.
“If they go out and desperately seek treatment from many doctors and the so called AYUSH practitioners, they will only spread the disease, nothing else. Media have a big role to play in this regard” he added.
“Pressuring the govt for more tests is of not much benefit for anyone, instead, the pressure must be on establishing temporary hospitals for Covid Care. Hospital manpower must be trained immediately for Covid Care and ventilator use in ICUs. It's also necessary to have a dedicated ambulance service for carrying seriously ill COVID cases (mostly the elderly) so that public transport is not used by these infectious patients” the post further stated.
