Rajkot: Influx of Covid-19 patients from Morbi, Rajkot, Junagadh and Amreli districts have sent Saurashtra’s biggest Covid facility in Jamnagar, GG hospital’s system for a toss while the district administration is leaving no stones unturned to make the entire hospital, barring a few critical departments, into a Covid-only hospital, literally. Jamnagar is second to Rajkot in terms of highest number of Covid cases.
While efforts are on to create additional 800 additional beds, the hospital is already treating total 1,302 patients admitted in the 1,200 beds facility that had been set up last year.
Additional beds have been arranged from the Indian navy and some more have been taken on rent from outside to accommodate all the in-hospital patients.
