The district administrations in Thanjavur and Nagapattinam have increased the number of COVID Care Centres and the bed capacity, including beds with oxygen support, as the rate of infection reflected a sharp rise on Saturday and Sunday. While Thanjavur district had reported a gradual spike over the last month, with students of various schools reporting positive in April, the recent infections are among the general public. Keeping in mind the increasing trend, the Thanjavur Medical College Hospital has suspended all elective surgeries and treatments; only emergency care wing will be functional. A total of 1,060 beds, of which 389 have oxygen support and 218 are in the intensive-care unit have been readied, official sources said.More Related News
