Hospitals Shouldn't Unnecessarily Raise Alarm For Oxygen: Manish Sisodia

Such acts hamper efforts to provide help to hospitals that really need assistance, Mr Sisodia, who is also the nodal minister for COVID-19 management in Delhi, said.

Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia on Sunday urged hospitals in Delhi not to raise alarms unnecessarily over oxygen shortage and appealed to the media to verify claims before reporting. Such acts hamper efforts to provide help to hospitals that really need assistance, Mr Sisodia, who is also the nodal minister for COVID-19 management in Delhi, said. "This morning, I got an SOS call from a hospital that had 18 kilo litres of oxygen in stock," he tweeted. The hospital requires 4.8 kl a day and has a storage capacity of 21 kl, meaning it still has three days of supply left, the minister said.
