The Hindu
Daily oxygen allocation is to go up from existing 300 tonnes to 800 tonnes
On a day Karnataka reported close to 30,000 new cases, Chief Minister B.S. Yediyurappa announced that the Centre has enhanced the State’s allocation of two crucial requirements — Remdesivir and oxygen supply. On Saturday, Mr. Yediyurappa thanked Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Home Minister Amit Shah and Chemicals and Fertilizers Minister D.V. Sadananda Gowda for increasing Karnataka’s allocation of Remdesivir from 50,000 doses to 1,22,000 till April 30 and daily oxygen allocation from existing 300 tonnes to 800 tonnes. This came a day after Mr. Yediyurappa, during a virtual meeting of Chief Ministers with the Prime Minister, appealed to the Centre to allocate more oxygen and Remdesivir to Karnataka, expressing concern that several healthcare centres would have to be shut if there was no increase in oxygen supply.
