The medical system is facing collapse

Many hospitals run out of oxygen

　　The menacing second wave of the epidemic has already overwhelmed hospitals and medical resources in many parts of India.

According to the latest data from the authorities, as of the morning of April 22, local time, there were only 25 ICU beds available in the capital New Delhi.

　　In addition, the Delhi High Court also revoked an executive order on the 21st, which requires the new crown virus testing laboratory to provide test results within 36 hours.

The court pointed out that the laboratory "turned the people out" because of this order, and pointed out that "there is no reason to require the report to be generated within 36 hours, especially when the pandemic is four times more severe than last year."

　　What's more serious is that there is a continuing shortage of oxygen, which has a life-saving effect on patients with new crowns, in India.

　　In order to alleviate the lack of domestic oxygen, the Indian Ministry of Defense stated that it will import 23 mobile oxygen concentrators and containers from Germany.

These devices will be deployed in military hospitals that treat patients with COVID-19 and are expected to arrive in India within a week.

　　However, the distant water cannot quench the near thirst.

On the 21st local time, a health official in New Delhi stated that at least six local private hospitals had run out of oxygen.

　　Although the Indian central government has allocated 480 tons of oxygen to New Delhi, local officials said that due to obstruction by police and senior government officials in Uttar Pradesh and Haryana, the oxygen could not reach the capital.

The epidemic worsens and the number of deaths increases sharply

People cremated their remains in the open air

　　In addition to the shortage of medical resources, the spread of the epidemic has led to a sharp increase in the number of deaths, making the funeral industry also facing many difficulties.

　　In New Delhi, many crematoriums have been overwhelmed.

The person in charge of a crematorium said that in recent weeks, the number of corpses they received had increased fivefold, and many corpses “had to wait in line for cremation”.

Many crematoriums in the local area have suffered from heavy pressure, and even the cremation site and the firewood used are in short supply.

　　In addition, there are even many families of the deceased who cannot afford to transport the deceased’s remains.

As a result, people could only light firewood to burn the remains in the open air.

WHO says India's epidemic situation is complicated

Tedros: "Deeply worried"

　　In response to the current situation in India, WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said on the 23rd local time that WHO is now deeply concerned about the epidemic situation in India and said that the local epidemic situation is complicated and that different parts of India need to take different response measures.

　　Tan Desai also emphasized that the Indian epidemic warns everyone that all tools, including public health measures, vaccines, diagnostic and treatment tools, must be used to combat the new crown virus in a comprehensive and unified way.

　　In addition, Michael Ryan, head of WHO's health emergency project, also said that the surge in cases in India was affected by multiple factors, including increased population mobility and the emergence of mutant viruses.

　　Ryan pointed out that it is difficult for a country like India to implement and maintain strict blockade measures, and it is necessary to find ways to reduce population mobility and population aggregation.

Ruian also emphasized that the steps required to control the epidemic are clear, but the difficulty lies in how to implement these measures.
