Several private medical hospitals are still delaying handing over beds to the Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP). On Saturday, Chief Commissioner Gaurav Gupta visited Vikram Hospital, Shifaa Hospital, and HBS Hospital and directed health officials to issue show-cause notices to the managements for failing to comply.
This is the second time in a week that the civic body has served notice to Vikram Hospital. Mr. Gupta told reporters later that 11,000 beds would be available under the government quota over the next few days.
In the backdrop of complaints from people who still have to wait for days to get their COVID-19 test results, Mr. Gupta said action would be taken against labs that do not upload the results on the ICMR portal in time.
