8 COVID-19 patients dead due to lack of oxygen in Delhi hospital

New Delhi: Eight COVID-19 patients, including the HOD of gastroenterology department, of Batra Hospital here died due to oxygen shortage, officials said Saturday.

We are trying to revive five other critical patients, said Dr S C L Gupta.

Hospitals across the national capital had sent out SOS messages last week about depleting supplies of oxygen.

The Delhi government has maintained that the city is not getting its allocated quantity of the life-saving gas.
