Shivamogga Lok Sabha member B.Y. Raghavendra has appealed to the public to cooperate with the district administration in combating the spread of COVID-19 by following guidelines strictly. He held a meeting with officers in Shivamogga on Monday regarding the steps taken to improve health infrastructure facilities in the district. As many as 250 COVID-19 patients were under treatment at Shivamogga Institute of Medical Sciences. More than 700 beds had been allocated for COVID-19 patients here. Enough care had been taken to ensure non-COVID-19 patients do not suffer, he said. The institute has an oxygen plant with a capacity to store 16,000 kilolitres of liquid oxygen. The plant is refilled from a tank from Bengaluru once in two days. Only those who require treatment are being admitted to the hospital, while the rest are in home isolation, he said.
