Confusing statements emerged from government authorities on the status of medical oxygen supply to hospitals in Dakshina Kannada on Monday. The statements lacked clarity.
The statement forwarded by the Department of Information which did not quote any authority as saying said that there is disruption in the supply of enough oxygen cylinders to hospitals.
It is because there is delay in the supply of liquid oxygen from Inox Air Products Private Ltd., Palakkad, Kerala, to the three oxygen refilling units in the district.

Hospitals with space for further expansion of ICU beds should take action, says Jagadeesha
In light of the likely increase of COVID-19 positive cases in Udupi district in the next few days, Deputy Commissioner G. Jagadeesha on Friday asked government and private hospitals to take steps to further increase the number of ICU beds.
Chairing a meeting of the district-level expert committee, Mr. Jagadeesha said hospitals, which have space for further expansion of ICU beds, should take immediate action. The action so taken should not cause any inconvenience in continuing treatment to COVID-19 and other patients.
