BCCI To Donate 2000 Oxygen Concentrators To Aid India’s Fight Against Covid-19

Mumbai: The Board of Control for Cricket in India has decided to donate 2000 oxygen concentrators to aid India’s fight against the coronavirus pandemic. India has been badly affected by the second wave of COVID-19 as the country was struggling with a lack of oxygen supply, which led to the death of many people.

“We stand shoulder to shoulder in this mass fight against the virus. The BCCI recognizes the dire need for medical devices in this hour of crisis and hopes that this effort will help reduce the demand-supply gap across the country. We have all gone through a lot but I am confident that we can stay ahead of the curve now that the vaccination drive is underway. I urge everyone eligible to get vaccinated,” BCCI secretary Jay Shah said.

“In times of crisis, the cricketing community has always come forward to lend support. It is heartening to see everyone coming together and doing their bit. The BCCI remains steadfast in its efforts towards social responsibility and will always be working closely with central and state governments to help them in their efforts to curb the spread of the virus. We believe these oxygen concentrators will boost healthcare infrastructure and be vital in providing critical oxygen when levels deplete rapidly,” BCCI treasurer Arun Singh Dhumal said.

Meanwhile, on May 23, over 2.20 lakh cases were reported and India also crossed the limit of 3 lakh deaths. The country has not been able to keep the situation under control and it has been more than a month that the cases are going to the roof.
