Indian City With Over 100K COVID Patients Has Only 28 Unused Ventilators As Cases Rise

The city of Pune, India, currently has more than 110,000 COVID-19 patients in hospitals, and only 28 unused ventilators as of Monday night.
Pune is the country s hardest-hit city, but the crisis follows a national trend across India as coronavirus cases rise and hospitals are becoming increasingly overwhelmed. Over the past week, India has averaged more than 143,000 cases per day, and deaths have now surpassed 170,000, the Associated Press reported.
India s western Maharashtra state, where Pune and the city of Mumbai are located, has recorded nearly half of those new infections in the past week. The situation is becoming so overwhelmed that some vaccination centers are beginning to turn people away to due increased shortages.
