MYSURU: The intensive care units (ICUs) of private hospitals in the city are filling up quickly as Covid-19 cases surge. Many ICUs have reached full capacity in the past few days, and experts fear systems may get overwhelmed if coronavirus infections continue to climb at this rate.
“Our ICU beds are full. A month ago, we had two Covid-19 patients in our hospital. Right now, we have 20,” said Dr Upendra Shenoy, chief of medical services at Columbia Asia Hospital. He urged people aged over 45 to get vaccinated.
Ninety per cent of the Covid-19 patients at the hospital are those who didn’t take the jabs. According to Dr Shenoy, people in the 15-45 age group are getting infected in large numbers, so citizens should strictly follow precautions.
