The former chief minister criticizing the current state government rates for COVID-19 treatment in private hospitals said, “The current rates fixed for treating COVID-19 patients by the state government are shocking to the people. The government must promptly announce free treatment and set up a standard treatment protocol. ”

Further questioning the state government Siddaramaiah asked, “Where can people pay these rates fixed by the government per day? Looking at these rates can be heartbreaking for the people. This raises the question of whether the government is sensitive to people’s issues.”

“The government should appoint a panel of experts to continuously monitor whether treatment is being properly administered and create an environment where the public is free from anxiety,” Siddaramaiah added.
