¡°Patients stay for more than ten days, so they can read as many as books. Also, this will reduce the time they otherwise spend on watching random things in smartphone,¡± said Abhijeet Bangar, chief of NMMC.
¡°It is possible that some patients may lose hope while fighting the deadly virus. The impact can be worse when they are away from family. The books can give them solace and divert their thoughts,¡± said Prafulla Wankhede, who is from the Let¡¯s India Read foundation.

It's a good move and there are a variety of books in many languages. At least patients do not have to be tied down despite being confined. Certainly helps to pass the time.
