PORVORIM: Porvorim MLA Rohan Khaunte has alleged that the government is planning to discharge around 500 COVID patients without confirmatory tests on Sunday.
Taking to social media, Khaunte wrote, that it has come to his notice through reliable sources that over 500 coronavirus patients are being discharged today from govt COVID hospital, without a confirmatory test.
“This is clearly being staged to bring down reporting of rising coronavirus cases in Goa, risking lives of Goenkars who are holding themselves in their houses out of fear of catching the infection. Deaths due to coronavirus are increasing by the day in Goa and very soon, Goa’s situation will go into a fully irreversible mode,” he said.
He further asked Health Minister Vishwajit Rane whether this is being done to manage the numbers?
“Is Goa CM in a hurry to declare to National Media that we are Green Zone again? Why doesn’t Dr. Pramod Sawant get that MORE testing is the most important tool in our arsenal against the virus?” he asked
