Pediatic infrastructure being augmented to counter third wave
The Hindu
A total of 100 beds have been established in hospitals in Tiruchi district
In the wake of predictions by a section of virologists of a possible third wave, the district administration has shifted its focus to augmenting pediatric infrastructure in government hospitals. Revenue and health authorities went through the toughest period in May due to unprecedented rise in COVID-19 cases during the second wave.
