It seems that the Cupertino-based tech giant has understood the seriousness of the COVID-19 surge in India and decided to help the country when it’s needed the most. Amid the high demand for medical oxygen in numerous states in the country, the Ministry of Home Affairs on April 26th assured that India is having enough oxygen stock but due to transportation issues the cylinders are unable to move from one place to another. According to the report, there is no need of creating a panic situation for oxygen.
“We are trying to resolve the issue of its transportation. The government is monitoring oxygen-carrying tankers on a real-time basis through GPS, making them available to hospitals as early as possible,” The Indian Express quoted MHA Additional Secretary Piyush Goyal
The Karnataka government has also imposed a 14-days lockdown in the state and the lockdown will be imposed from April 27, 2021, at 9 PM. During this period public transport will be restricted, but the shops for essential services will remain open from 6 AM to 10 AM every day.
Going with the numbers we can say that the situation is degrading every passing day and it’s recommended to stay at home and avoid going out unnecessarily. Take proper precautions in case you are going out for essentials and medical help.
