New Delhi hospital beds run out amid COVID-19 surge
Some families of people infected with COVID-19 have complained about having to hunt for beds for their relatives after hospitals turned them away.
The office of New Delhi’s Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and the city’s health authorities did not respond to requests for comment. On Monday a government mobile app showed that of Delhi’s 9,940 COVID-19 beds, almost 5,500 were occupied. Of the 108 private and public hospitals listed in the app, 25 had no beds available.Anant Bhan, an independent researcher of global health and bioethics, said opening temples was likely to make more people leave their homes and put lives at risk if proper social distancing protocols were not followed.
