There might also be changes in combination of drugs under this change of treatment protocol efforts.
Replying about Rapid Antigen Kits, the officer said that on 12th August probably 20,000 kits will reach Andaman Nicobar Islands after which the problem related to shortage of testing kits will be solved.
Another development is that the Health Department has repeatedly got 200 vials of Remdesivir drug out of which some vials have also been given to Andaman Nicobar Command for treatment.
The most important development is that, as per claim, since last two days no death of inpatient has been reported in Andaman. However in one case one patient who reached G B Pant in critical condition yesterday, died after some hours and was later found COVID19 positive. Best part is that now the Health Department strongly believes that the situation COVID19 will improve very soon in Andaman.
