Covid-19: Health experts say no to institutional quarantine

Bangaluru, Jun 4(UNI) Health Experts in Covid-19 Advisory Committee are against Institutional Quarantine saying it leads to possibility of healthy individuals contracting the virus.
The fact that more than 40 per cent of patients in Karnataka are those from quarantine centres is enough, they said.
The government will issue an order giving powers to respective districts to determine the duration of institutional quarantine, depending on the influx of travellers. For example, Hassan insists on 14 days' institutional quarantine for Maharashtra returnees, whereas according to the state SOP, it is seven days.
