If such severe level is reached, he says, that patients should contact a doctor immediately.<\/div>\n<div>The Senior Resident Doctor also urged the public, especially the mild category patients not to take steroids unnecessarily and without doctor\u2019s advice. \u2018Only an expert doctor can diagnose better, especially in case a patient has other diseases in addition to Covid infection\u2019, he cautioned. He also requested the public not to hoard oxygen cylinders unnecessarily, thereby causing shortage for the needy.<\/div>\n<div>Dr Rajesh Minia has also requested the patients to take doctors\u2019 advice seriously, follow Covid-preventive protocols and make way for severe patients by not occupying covid-care beds against doctors\u2019 advice.<\/div>\n<div>He informed that a round-the-clock Divisional Control Room has been established to address all medical advice and queries and can be reached at 0191-2520982, 2549676, 2674444, 2674115, 2674908.<\/div>\n<div>Meanwhile, according to official report 54 covid patients\u00a0 have been discharged\u00a0 in the past 24 hours including 16 from GMC Jammu, 19 from Chest Disease &amp; TB Hospital, 4 from Super Specialty Hospital and 15 from MCH Jammu.
