HYDERABAD: Increase in Covid-19 patients after detection of UK variant of coronavirus in Hyderabad, which is more contagious and spreads faster, has put strain on resources and service delivery of Liaquat University Hospital (LUH), which already remains overburdened with arrival of patients from other districts.
The UK variant is contagious and spreads fast, hence the increase in number of patients in Hyderabad,” said Liaquat University of Medical and Health Sciences (LUMHS) vice chancellor Prof Dr Bikha Ram on Monday.
