The pressure on the isolation and de-isolation facilities in Phuentshogling has reduced. More than half of the COVID patients chose to isolate themselves in their homes. The Task Force allowed nearly 500 people and their primary contact to stay under home isolation since last week. 

Red stickers can be seen in nearly 500 households. It means there are COVID patients inside. Outsiders are not allowed to come here. Those who wish to stay isolated in their homes are allowed to do so. Separate medical teams are also there to provide services in these red buildings.

“It is comfortable to stay in home isolation. Through social media platforms, we heard a woman crying and sharing her experience from an isolation facility. Moreover, when people are detected with the virus, they have to stay away from their families and it is difficult. Staying in an isolation facility is a burden to the government as well,” said a resident.

“It is better at home. We can serve ourselves hot meals. We can eat anything we want which may not be possible in isolation facilities,” said another resident.

“At home, we get to stay with our children and it is convenient. This may not be the situation in isolation facilities,” added another resident.

Despite detecting positive cases from the community daily, the isolation facilities in the town are being managed comfortably. Unlike in the past, every COVID patient is not taken to isolation facilities.

There are nine isolation and de-isolation facilities in Phuentshogling. It can accommodate more than 1,000 people. And today, almost half of the facilities are empty.
