Corona-virus suspects are being isolated. In order for this isolation, the train coaches are being modified as the isolation ward.
The lock-down/curfew has been imposed for 21 days throughout the country as a preventive action against the spreading of the raging corona-virus pandemic from 14th March. There is a daily increase in the number of patients affected by corona-virus!
The central government has initiated activities to provide the required medical facilities. As a part of this, Train coaches are being modified as isolation wards!
Each cabin in the coach is modified to accommodate a single patient. There are 9 cabins in each coach. Out of the 4 toilets available in each coach, one toilet is being converted into a bathroom.
20000 coaches are being modified thus! Indian Railways have informed that 3.2 Lakh isolation wards can be made in this way!
