Nagpur: Amid a massive rise in COVID-19 cases, doctors at Nagpur's premier Government Medical College and Hospital said they were dealing with unprecedented patient numbers, stretching the health infrastructure and the efficiency levels of staff thin.
Nagpur district on Tuesday reported 6,826 fresh coronavirus positive cases and 65 fatalities, taking the tally to 2,91,043 and the toll to 5,903, an official release said.
