NEW DELHI (REUTERS) - Sirens wailing, a police convoy escorting a tanker carrying oxygen reached a hospital in India s capital just in time, to the huge relief of doctors and relatives of Covid-19 patients counting on the supply to stave off death.
India on Friday (April 23) posted the world s largest daily Covid-19 caseload for a second day, with 332,730 new cases and 2,263 deaths, as the pandemic spiralled out of control.
A dire shortage of oxygen - essential for the survival of critical Covid-19 patients - has meant states are closely guarding their supplies and even posting armed police at production plants to ensure security.
