Whereas in Punjab there are 56 deaths in the last 24 hours and 3459 COVID positive cases. As per the medical experts, this second surge is highly infectious and spreading like fire amongst people. In between all this PGI Chandigarh has decided to abandon its OPD services again so that they may save their healthcare workers to treat Emergency cases and handle this surge with full efficiency.

With this, Gynecology OPD, Cancer OPD would also work as usual as these patients cannot be ignored. Operation Theatre services other than emergency Operations are also reduced.”
