JAISALMER: Hospitals in Barmer are full with Covid patients. Currently, almost 90 per cent of Covid patients in the district are admitted to hospitals with around 50 per cent needing oxygen.
During the day, oxygen supply in Barmer Medical College Hospital suddenly came to a standstill which forced the medical department to seek oxygen from private contractors. In all, 45 patients in the hospital are on oxygen. More than 100 vaccination centres are lying closed in the district because of shortage.
As a preventive step, the Barmer district administration has cancelled the Tilwara fair. Similarly, Jaisalmer administration has directed to close all temples at Ramdeora, Tanot Mateshwari and other places. It has also asked people to offer namaz from home during the month of Ramzan.
