Several private hospitals in the district are reporting that the beds they have allocated for COVID-19 patients are all occupied, including beds with oxygen supply, ICUs and ventilators.
While Aster Medcity would not specify the number of beds set aside for COVID-19 patients, a hospital spokesperson said that all beds allocated for COVID treatment were full, including ICU facilities. The hospital had set aside more than the required 20% of its total number of beds, added the spokesperson.
