Scarcity of hospital beds, oxygen supply and medicines like Remdesivir injections in major cities
The COVID-19 situation in Gujarat is turning grimmer by the day. On Wednesday, the numbers saw a massive jump with 7,410 cases and 73 deaths while the number of patients recovered has remained stagnant at 2,642. The number of active cases stands at 39,250. The rise in cases across the main cities like Ahmedabad, Surat, Rajkot and Vadodara has led to scarcity of hospital beds, oxygen supply and shortage of medicines like Remdesivir injections. “The second wave is ferocious and sparing no one. There are too many deaths occurring in the State,” said a top medical practitioner from Ahmedabad. He said there appears no sign of the infection reaching its peak in the next few weeks, which means the situation will only worsen with more cases and deaths.
