The archdiocese of Goa-Daman plans to open one of its spiritual renewal centers for people who require self-quarantine during this coronavirus pandemic time.
Father Savio Fernandes, assistant director Caritas-Goa, says they have sent five nurses to undergo training in Heath-way Hospital to take charge of the service in St Joseph Vaz Spiritual Renewal Centre in Old Goa.
“We are beginning with 40 beds, including 10 with oxygen facility,” the priest told Matters India. According to him, many religious responded to Arch-bishop Filippe Neri Ferrao’s request.
“We require nurses who have completed two doses of vaccination. We need many nurses to work in shifts. Our service may go on for a month or more as per the need. Required equipment are also on the way,” Father Fernandes added.
