Kothagudem: Covid-19 patients from Moddulamada, a tribal hamlet in Aswaraopeta mandal in the district, who made a compost shed at a Vaikunta Dhamam their isolation centre, have been shifted to government isolation centre.

Of the 150 residents of the village, at least 50 persons, both men and women, tested positive for Coronavirus three days ago following a mass fishing activity at a local tank recently.

Aswaraopeta tahsildar Ch Prasada Rao told Telangana Today on Thursday that 10 patients had already been shifted to the isolation centre at an Ashram School at Sunnam Batti village in the mandal two days ago for better medical care, but the others refused to go to the centre.

After long hours of persuasion, the officials managed to shift around 25 patients to the isolation centre on late on Wednesday evening and again on Thursday. The remaining patients who have facilities at their homes to maintain safe isolation were taken to their homes, he said.

As soon as the villagers tested positive for Covid, the mandal health and revenue officials persuaded the patients to stay at Sunnam Batti isolation centre and tried to shift them there but they insisted on staying at their village, Prasada Rao noted.

Since there were no proper structures that could accommodate 50 persons, the patients stayed at the newly built compost shed at the village Vaikunta Dhamam. A few generous locals provided food items to the patients.
