Beds are full in Jaipur, Jodhpur, Udaipur, Kota. People are not getting treatment on time. On the night of April 19, 2 patients lost their lives due to the stoppage of oxygen supply in Kota.

 

Due to lack of oxygen and beds, patients are wondering, but there is no one to see or listen to. There is a lot of pressure from the government on private hospitals. More than one lakh cases of corona have been reported in the last 20 days. The situation is expected to worsen in the coming days.

 

On average, more than 13 thousand oxygen cylinders are being consumed in the state every day and the demand is also increasing. The administration claims that on average, more than 25 thousand oxygen cylinders are produced every day everywhere in the state. Despite this, cities like Kota, Udaipur are fighting for oxygen. Because of the lack of oxygen in Udaipur, the administration has taken over the plant of Hindustan Zinc.

 

51% of the infected came in only 4 districts
