1,526 new cases in Kozhikode district; TPR is 16.75%
Kozhikode District Collector N. Tej Lohit Reddy has directed hospitals to increase the number of beds with ventilator and intensive care unit (ICU) support and set aside 50% of the beds for COVID treatment. He said on Monday that though the number of the infected persons had been going up in the district, the availability of beds had been found to be limited now. This could lead to an adverse situation. All the hospitals, including the Government Medical College, those in the cooperative sector and under the Employees State Insurance Corporation, had been told to abide by the directive. The hospitals should also try to set up oxygen generator plants.More Related News
