HISAR: Five Covid-19 patients on ventilator support died at a private hospital here on Monday morning, allegedly after their oxygen supply ran out. This incident happened within 24 hours of two similar incidents in Haryana.

Cops were deployed in and around the hospital to prevent any untoward incident. Chief minister Manohar Lal Khattar ordered a magisterial inquiry into the matter, in addition to the medical board ordering one.
Three of the patients who died at Soni Hospital hailed from Hisar district, one belonged to Delhi and one was from Punjab.
