New Delhi: Chaos prevailed outside the Sardar Vallabbhai Patel COVID-19 Care Centre (SPCCC) here as a huge crowd of desperate patients and their attendants gathered at the facility for getting admission even before it began operating this morning.
Located at the Radha Soami Beas campus in the Chhattarpur area of south Delhi, the facility has been opened in view of Delhi registering a sharp rise in coronavirus cases, a shortage of oxygen beds and its healthcare system getting overwhelmed.
