New Delhi, April 26 : Sushila Verma, a 45-year-old housewife in the capital, who tested Covid positive recently, had developed breathing troubles. The pulse oximeter showed her oxygen levels going below 90. While the family scouted for hospitals, her neighbour helped her breathe again with an oxygen concentrator.
Her oxygen levels have now reached a healthy 96.
The second Covid wave, which began hitting India in March this year, has left more patients gasping for breath.
The severe breathlessness has been a common feature observed this time that has led to a spike in demand for oxygen.
