Health system is in danger of collapsing: Paul

 

NITI Aayog member (health) VK Paul said that we are going through a very serious and dangerous situation, especially in some districts. But the whole country is at risk, so we have to make all efforts to break the virus chain and save lives. He warned that hospital and ICU-related preparations will have to be maintained. If matters escalate at this rapid pace, the health system will collapse.
