As the number of hospitalisations due to the coronavirus disease (Covid-19) spikes, the Delhi government is working to increase its intensive care unit (ICU) capacity in at least three of its big hospitals dedicated for the treatment of the contagious pathogen.
The number of hospitalisations in Delhi crossed 6,000 on Friday, the first time since the surge in cases in June.
At least 2,203 ICU beds are earmarked for the treatment of Covid-19 patients in government and private hospitals in Delhi. Over 62.7% of these were occupied as on Sunday evening, according to data from the Delhi Corona App.
