description In COVID era, the developing countries like India are facing big problems and fail to provide health care to needy patients. The main reason for this failure is limited health resources and overpopulated states. Considering these, it is need of the hour to establish community care for COVID-19 in every district. The trained health worker will be instrumental in categorizing COVID-positive patients in three different zones that are green, yellow, or red on the basis of mild, moderate, or severe clinical symptoms, respectively. All such patients may be treated under the guidance of doctors of the telemedicine department of the tertiary center with close monitoring under CCTV camera and other telemedicine software. The only limitation of this model is that we need to shift sick patients (red) to higher center. The estimated cost is approximately 2,29,000 only to establish one center.
