In Mumbai’s COVID centers and hospitals, 96 percent beds are lying vacant. Many BMC doctors told that the load of COVID patients has reduced significantly. Now we need to focus on non covid patients.
In the third wave, many patients were home quarantined, they had mild symptoms of the disease, we cured them through online consultation. The hospital will have about 20 patients. The demand for ICU is no longer the same as before. Patients with mild symptoms have recovered quickly, but ICU patients also recover faster than the second wave. Only the elderly and covid patients suffering from other diseases were admitted to the hospital.
