Rajkot: Gir-Somnath district’s civil hospital in Veraval town stopped taking new Covid-19 patients on Wednesday after it ran out of oxygen supply.
Civil surgeon Dr Jignesh Parmar said, “All oxygen and ventilators beds are occupied and we don’t have oxygen supply for more patients. We can admit more patients only after getting adequate oxygen supply.”
There are 70 people under treatment in the hospital while five private hospitals in the district designated to treat Covid patients are also struggling to get oxygen supply. District collector Ajay Prakash was not available for comment
