Abstract
COVID-19 has been labeled a serious public health emergency globally. Due to its high infectivity it has led to an increased burden to the Medical Fraternity as well as the Government. Therefore, the need for preparedness as well as conventional intervention strategies became integral during such health emergencies. To monitor the implementation of proper activities and to manage the patient load with adequate safety of the staff, COVID control rooms were established in the hospital premises. The main objective of the Control Room is risk mitigation, planning strategies, alleviating concerns and addressing issues associated with the health emergency across the hospital and further delegating the information to the higher authorities and the Ministry. Hereby in this review we have tried to summarize the administrative structure, functions and limitations of the 24x7 Control Room established in Tertiary Care Hospital, New Delhi.
