As COVID-19 cases continue to surge unabated, healthcare infrastructure of both government and private sector is being stretched to limits once again in Tiruchi. COVID-19 beds in almost all approved private hospitals are said to be full. When the pandemic began to spread in March last, the government clamped a nationwide lockdown, thereby forcing the people to stay indoors. Several patients who were supposed to visit doctors for treatment and consultation put off their visits to hospitals. Since roads were closed for traffic, there were hardly any road accidents. It ultimately brought downthe number of accident victims to the hospitals, including Mahatma Gandhi Memorial Government Hospital in Tiruchi during the period. Besides attending emergency cases, MGMHG authorities focused their attention on treating COVID-19 patients.
