“Regarding the oxygen infrastructure, given today's circumstances, I consider it necessary to conduct a total check of all oxygen infrastructure facilities, both those that originally existed at the hospital base, and the one that was installed due to the opening of new hospital bases,” TASS quotes Texler as saying.

Earlier it was reported that the explosion of the oxygen booth occurred in the clinic of the city hospital No. 2 in Chelyabinsk.

Because of the fire, 150 people were evacuated.

Texler announced a municipal emergency.
