The district surveillance officer of the Integrated Disease Surveillance Programme (IDSP) had advised for stabilising the patient and sending him to the COVID-19 Hospital in Dimapur for further necessary action and to contact the Public Relations Officer of the hospital.

As per the report from the Covid-19 Hospital in Dimapur, the patient got admitted there at 9:43 pm on April 11 along with a discharge slip from Zion Hospital requesting him to be referred to Apollo Hospital, Guwahati for further treatment and evaluation.
