Beds filling up fast as COVID-19 infections surge in Mysuru

Nearly 60 % of beds in district hospital occupied; COVID-19 Care Centre at KSOU building has already received about 35 patients
The COVID-19 surge in Mysuru has vexed the district administration which has cancelled all public holidays in April for the health staff to expedite vaccination and meet testing targets to reign in the pandemic before it turns worse like last year. Armed with nearly 20 lakh doses of vaccine, the April target has been to vaccinate as many as 20,000 persons daily. What has been become the worrying factor is the continued surge with 100-plus cases reported almost daily since over a week even as beds are filling up fast in both government and private hospitals with the increase in active cases. Like the earlier arrangement, private hospitals here are supposed to set aside 50 per cent of beds for COVID-19 cases.More Related News
