The largest Covid hospital in Jaipur is full, patients being admitted to the verandah

Jaipur: The epidemic of corona virus is taking large number of people in the grip of infection. The number of corona infected is creating new records every day. If there are no beds in hospitals, there is a shortage of oxygen somewhere. The situation in Rajasthan is no different than this. The beds have also become full at the RUHS in Rajasthan's largest government-run Covid Dedicated Hospital, Jaipur.

RUHS Hospital has around 1200 beds, 167 ventilators and 250 ICU beds. They are almost full. Now the patients are being admitted by putting beds in the hospital's verandas. In RUHS, these beds have been installed from the fifth to the eighth floor. The shortage of beds has started in Covid Dedicated Hospitals, while there is also a huge crowd at the vaccination centers to get the vaccine installed.

People are taking large number of people taking corona vaccine in hospitals of Rajasthan. The crowds arriving to get the vaccine got pushed in the day. When Aaj Tak's team reached the hospital in Jaipur, people were pushing. Staff and arrangements at the hospital were also inadequate. People told that they have been sitting here since morning. Only one staff was vaccinated and that too slowly so that the crowd was not diminishing.

Many people who came to this hospital in Jaipur were seen sitting on the ground. Some shops in the city were seen to be open, though in very small numbers. People were seen on the streets but their number was also very less. A day ago, the police was seen on the road in a hurry, today the police did not know anywhere. Significantly, cases of infection with the corona virus are increasing rapidly across the country.

In view of the fast growing corona cases in the country, the Rajasthan government has already announced to celebrate public administration fortnight in the state from today till May 3. During this time strict restrictions have been imposed like lockdown.
