5 COVID-19 Patients Die At Roorkee Hospital Due To Oxygen Shortage

Mumbai: Five COVID-19 patients died at a hospital in Roorkee in Uttarakhand’s Haridwar district due to a shortage of oxygen.

The Haridwar district administration has ordered an inquiry into the incident and constituted a committee to investigate the incident.

“85-bedded COVID-19 private hospital in Azadnagar, Roorkee on Monday late night, ran out of oxygen and the hospital management made arrangements for 20 cylinders in a hurry but at 4 am the oxygen ran out again by the time oxygen was arranged again, 5 patients died,” said Haridwar District Magistrate.

As cases of COVID-19 have increased, many hospitals across the country are reporting a lack of oxygen and many have lost their lives due to this.
