RML Hospital Reserves 9 beds amid COVID-19 Surge - Video

In response to a recent surge in COVID-19 cases in the capital, Ram Manohar Lohia (RML) Hospital has taken precautionary steps by reserving nine beds exclusively for COVID-19 patients.

Medical Dialogues had previously reported that India has witnessed a slight uptick in COVID-19 cases over the past few days, with the Union Health Ministry updating its official dashboard to reflect 257 active cases across the country. The uptick comes amid a broader regional resurgence in parts of Asia, including Hong Kong and Singapore.

Speaking to The Tribune India, Dr Pawan Kumar from the Respiratory Medicine Department at the hospital said, “Four patients with comorbid conditions were admitted to the hospital last month. During testing, they were found to be COVID-19 positive. They were isolated.”

The hospital currently has nine beds reserved for COVID-19 patients. He mentioned that if the number of clinical COVID cases increases, the hospital plans to expand the bed capacity accordingly.
