TIRUCHI As COVID-19 cases continue to surge, health officials in Tiruchi have reached out to educational institutions to establish more beds to accommodate patients with mild symptoms.
The National Institute of Technology (T) is among the institutions approached by the officials to establish centres for treating COVID-19 patients. Facing the pressure of creating oxygen supported beds, a team of officials visited the NIT premises on the outskirts of the city a few days ago and studied the possibilities of converting the hostel with oxygen supply.
