Housing societies in NCR converting club house into a Covid isolation facility – Economic Times

New Delhi: Housing societies in NCR are now creating a isolation room within the society to keep the suspected COVID19 patients. As cases continue to rise in NCR, Noida, Ghaziabad, Delhi and Gurgaon are coming up with innovative ideas.

Eldeco Utopia, in sector 93A of Noida have turned club house into a alternate isolation room with provisions of beds, oxygen cylinders and equipment for monitoring oxygen levels.

We have in-house doctors who are helping us in setting up the facility. This is for the temporary stay till the governments team takes the patient away, said Sayama Sahar, Vice President of the RWA of Eldeco Utopia.

Supertech and Mahagun Mascot in Crossing Republik in Ghaziabad have also started preparation.

We already have bed along with basic facility in the club. Initially, it was created to ensure the stay of maintenance staff but it can be converted into a isolation facility, said Virender Singh, RWA president of Supertech.

A resident of Mahagun Mascot also confirmed that residents are deliberating concerting the club house into a isolation facility since, government takes time in admitting the COVID patient.

In Delhi too, some RWAs are converting the club house and making provision of isolation room.

In Gurgaon, plan of converting EWS flats into a isolation facility was dragged in controversy after the objection of residents.

Vatika management has not given any consent for making a covid Isolation centre at any of its residential sites. We have also requested the residents to neither participate nor believe in such rumours. Vatika group is following all precautions that have been laid down by the competent authorities, said Lt Col Mehta, VP, Residential, Vatika Group.
