State logs 403 new cases with just 34k samples being tested
The number of COVID-19 patients getting admitted to the Intensive Care Units (ICUs) across hospitals in the State has increased by 100% in just about two weeks. This clearly indicates that the number of people suffering from severe form of the infection is on the rise. The request for plasma collected from COVID-recovered persons has also been increasing. From March 1 to 14 this year, around 340 to 375 COVID patients were being admitted in ICUs of government and private hospitals per day. It gradually increased to over 400, and then crossed 500 and 600 in a matter of few days. On Sunday (March 28), as many as 767 patients were admitted to the ICU, which is more than a 100% increase.More Related News
