Pre-festive surge fills up ‘Puja spl’ Covid beds

Covid ICU beds added by some private hospitals, after a prod from the state government last week, were taken up within hours of them being set up. At some facilities along the EM Bypass, the waiting list has got longer after the extension of Covid units, prompting the hospital authorities to plead that they have reached a saturation point and can no longer stretch their resources to accommodate more beds. If the number of Covid positives continue to spiral at the existing rate, Kolkata could be heading for a major crisis by the end of the pujas, warned doctors.
