The Health Department has started a ‘bike ambulance’ facility in Jaipur city to deliver medicines at home to those infected with coronavirus.

This initiative has been taken keeping in mind the convenience of the infected living in 'home isolation'. Such infected people can now get medicines by calling the number '108' while sitting at home, an official said.
