BENGALURU: With hospitals struggling to handle the deluge of Covid patients who developed breathlessness, the government has decided to set up 22 oxygen-generation plants in 18 medical institutes across the state. This comes at a time when Karnataka is reporting around 50,000 positive cases and the case fatality rate in eight districts has crossed 1%.
“The idea is to ensure the 18 medical colleges are self-sufficient in oxygen production, and the process is being fast-tracked,” deputy chief minister and State Covid-19 Ministerial Task Force chief CN Ashwath Narayan told STOI. Three of the plants are in Bengaluru. The finance department has given its green signal to the Rs 62.7 crore proposal and tenders have been called.
