As the country crossed a grim milestone of 100 daily Covid-19 deaths yesterday, health experts and officials have pointed at coronavirus patients' negligence in taking their symptoms seriously and the delay in seeking medical care on time as reasons behind the sharp rise in fatalities.
Another contributing factor, they said, is inadequate treatment facilities for the critical patients.
As the Covid-19 patients seek hospital care, they find it difficult to get the critical care like ICUs and ventilators in the hospitals that have been struggling to tackle an ever-increasing number of patients for the past several weeks, they add.
Many people seem to be considering their mild discomfort not related to a possible Covid-19 infection, experts said.
