Coronavirus patients in Jaipur relieved after Rajasthan government allows family to visit them

In a move to make lives easier of the Coronavirus patients in the state, the Rajasthan State Health Minister has released an order which states that family members will be permitted to meet their patients by wearing PPE kits. Families will also be allowed to carry home-cooked food. The Health Department principal secretary issued this order, keeping in view the problem of loneliness amongst the patients. The patients who were stressed out because of the disease, can now find comfort during such testing times.

Visiting Hours as per decided by the hospitals
