The health department took over Desun Hospital on Tuesday and converted it into a dedicated hospital to treat Covid-19 patients.

The Bypass hospital has been designated as Level III and IV Covid-19 hospital, a health official said. Level III is meant for confirmed positive patients with mild infection and Level IV is for similar category of patients but aged above 60 and with co-morbidity.

This is the third private hospital after Salt Lake’s ILS Hospital and New Town’s Ohio Hospital to be converted into a covid facility.
