Aurangabad youth offers his home as quarantine centre

As a gesture of support and help, a young man in Aurangabad has offered his home as a quarantine centre for asymptomatic persons as positive cases are increasing in the state every day.

Aurangabad (Maharashtra): As COVID-19 cases continue to rise in Aurangabad, there arises a need to isolate the family members of the infected persons and at the same time quarantine them as well. However, it becomes impossible for middle class families to maintain safe distance due to small homes which increases the chances of other family members getting infected as well.

In such a situation, a youth from Palshi in Aurangabad has offered his house as a quarantine centre. All necessary facilities are provided in his house turned as quarantine centre.

Kiran Dorle, as a good samaritan has offered his 4 rooms house as a quarantine centre for asymptomatic persons. Mattresses are placed at 6 ft distance on ground in this house. Facilities like drinking water, tea, breakfast, lunch and dinner are also going to be provided to the people there. However, the house turned quarantine centre is only for the people of Palshi village, says Kiran Dorle.

At present Kiran stays in another village and hence he has offered his 4 rooms house in Pisadevi to use as a quarantine centre. He has made all possible arrangements needed for a quarantine centre in this house. After minor repair work, mattresses are placed at a distance of 6 ft on the ground. Hand wash, sanitizers have also been kept in the rooms.

Kiran also says that if need arises, he will lend his hand to make bigger arrangements in Zilla Parishad schools through Gram panchayat. If people in other villages also take this moral from Kiran and be a good Samaritan like him then it will be possible to provide treatment to Covid patients.

The government and municipal corporations have made such arrangements but not on a large scale in rural areas.

Kiran has thus fulfilled his social responsibility of being helpful to others around him.

As of Tuesday, 3,214 new COVID-19 cases and 248 deaths were reported in Maharashtra, the worst-hit state by the pandemic, on Tuesday.

According to the Public Health Department, the total positive cases in the state climbed to 1,39,010, including 69,631 recoveries and 6,531 deaths. As many as 1,925 patients have been discharged in Maharashtra.
