A calamity on repeat – India out of Oxygen again! On Kindly Share This Story: India has been going through a vicious second wave of COVID-19 throughout the past month. The total reported coronavirus cases in the country passed the 22 million mark, with an average of 350,000 new cases and over 3,440 deaths each day. As of May 9th, India had reported over 246,000 deaths, with a seven-day average of new cases around 391,000. The snowballing numbers of COVID-19 cases are overwhelming the nation’s healthcare facilities, which are now facing a major shortage of supplies, particularly oxygen. But one of the country’s largest medical gas installation and medical gas service companies says the reason for the shortage is not a lack of supply – it’s getting the medical gas and equipment to where it needs to be. Before the coronavirus pandemic hit the world, nobody expected the demand for oxygen flowmeters, tanks and regulators to hit such high levels.
