With the demand for liquid medical oxygen projected to touch 1,500 tonnes a day by next month in the State, if the upward trajectory continues at the same rate, the State government has written to the Centre seeking additional allocation. The Centre has presently allocated 300 tonnes a day of oxygen to Karnataka. According to the State’s projection, the requirement is likely to touch 500-600 tonnes a day by this month-end and further go up next month. The demand for oxygen has come to such a point in the city that several hospitals are now asking patient families to give an undertaking that they will arrange for an ICU and critical care if the patient’s condition deteriorates.
