A Punjab official told India Today TV that the state was better off as there were several well-equipped hospitals. “However, the increase in positivity rate is a cause of worry,” he claimed.
A civil surgeon in Mohali echoed similar concerns. We are inundated with calls for ICU beds and oxygen. We do admit patients from Delhi. But not all are capable of making it. We have told them some may have to return to their city. The situation is under control now. However, there has been a steady rise in cases and I cannot predict the future. If people do not follow Covid-appropriate protocols, we may witness trouble,” Adarshpal Kaur told India Today TV.
