“Over one lakh persons received treatment for coronavirus infection during the second wave in Gujarat. But unlike other states, not a single patient has died due to shortage of medical oxygen,” Rupani was quoted as saying in a press release.
Senior government officials have been assigned various duties as part of the government’s planning to tackle a possible third wave, Rupani said. Medical oxygen production capacity in the state will be raised to 1,800 metric tonnes, the chief minister added.
