India running out of hospital beds amid record coronavirus cases

Al Jazeera  

Officials in New Delhi and Mumbai report alarming shortage of hospital beds as India sees record infections in a day. On Tuesday, Delhi’s Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia said the capital will have more than half a million COVID-19 cases and it does not have the hospital capacity to handle such an outbreak. Row over hospital beds Sisodia’s statement came a day after India’s federal government reversed the Delhi administration’s order to reserve hospital beds for Delhi’s residents and limit the scope of coronavirus testing. On Sunday, Sisodia’s boss, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, had announced that hospital beds for COVID-19 patients would be reserved for the city’s residents. ‘He was dying in front of family’ Aniket Goyal, a university student in New Delhi, said his grandfather was refused admission in six government-run hospitals last week because the facilities said they had no beds even though a government app showed that beds were available.
