That is, 89 percent of ICU beds are also empty. At the same time, talking about government hospitals, about 90 percent of ICU beds are vacant in them, because most of the serious patients are being treated in private hospitals.
Doctor Siddharth Tara of Hindurao Hospital says that now new admissions in the hospital are becoming negligible. This shows that the spread of the virus has stopped, but it is a matter of concern that after the unlocked in Delhi, now people have started being careless. This may make the situation worse again in the future. Now there is every possibility of the next wave coming. In such a situation, it is necessary that people keep following the rules. Also, avoid going to crowded areas as the spread of the virus has reduced. This pandemic is not over.
Of the total 1281 patients admitted in Delhi hospitals, 723 patients are still in ICU. This shows that the condition of more than 50 percent of the patients is serious. Since the last week of March, the number of serious patients is not decreasing. Yudhveer Singh, who is handling the responsibility of Corona ICU ward in AIIMS, says that in the second wave of corona in the country, many times more patients were admitted to hospitals than before. Most of them were in critical condition. The new strain caused severe symptoms in patients. This is the reason that despite the low number of patients in the hospitals, there are more than 50 percent patients in the ICU.
