An incident response system exclusively to monitor the supply of oxygen is on the cards in all districts to effectively handle the emergency situations in various government and private hospitals which are dealing with the increasing number of COVID-19 patients. The model, adopted by the Kozhikode District administration as part of its newly released 18-point COVID-19 Surge Management Plan, will be considered for implementation in the first phase. Under the supervision of the District-level Disaster Management Authorities, district-level Oxygen Availability Assurance Teams or District Oxygen War Rooms will be set up to manage the critical situations. These war rooms will be in touch with the Nodal Officers appointed in each of the government and private hospitals to stay updated on the oxygen availability.
