The civic body has asked all civic-run hospitals to keep beds ready for COVID patients. Also, the authority will ask private hospital to be prepared if cases start rising. BMC has decided to activate 4,000 beds for COVID patients step by step.
We are monitoring the situation. COVID cases have risen but the situation is under control. Currently, there are 663 active patients in the city; only 52 patients are admitted to hospitals. “While patient admission is low, we are still closely monitoring the situation,” said a BMC official.
