Noida authority closes nine oxygen counters as COVID-19 cases decline

Gautam Buddh Nagar recorded 17 new COVID-19 cases on Monday and currently has 121 active infections.

New Delhi: Amid the declining number of COVID-19 cases in the Gautam Budh Nagar district (Uttar Pradesh), the Noida authority has decided to close nine oxygen counters. From Monday (June 21, 2021), it has now started supplying oxygen cylinders from only one cylinder refilling facility located in Sector 93B. "As the demand for oxygen has come down to a large extent for the past many days at all centres, the authority has decided to provide medical oxygen service only from the Sector 93B community centre from Monday. Those who need oxygen can avail the service from there," Hindustan Times quoted Mukesh Vaish, project engineer of the authority, as saying.
