Hospitals have recorded a three-fold rise in demand for medical oxygen
With a surge in the number of COVID-19 cases in the State, the demand for medical oxygen has in the last few days shot up three-fold than the usual 200 metric tonnes required per day. Most hospitals, especially medium and smaller hospitals, said they are running out of stocks.
The situation took a turn for the worse since Friday with some smaller hospitals asking families to shift patients admitted in their hospitals to other facilities as they would touch the zero mark anytime.
