Even though there are 2100 beds in Victoria, not all can be used: Minister Dr. Sudhakar

BANGALORE: Minister of State for Health Dr. Sudhakar has said that from a thousand to five thousand five hundred bedded hospital will be reserved for Covid-19. Speaking to the media in Bangalore today, he said that even though there are 2100 beds in Victoria, not all can be used. There are many other patients. Sudhakar said the decision on how to shift the remaining patients in Victoria Hospital should be decided elsewhere.

Now a meeting with the authorities has been called. The construction of a separate hospital for Covid 19 will be discussed. “It is planned to use the Victorian asylum. This will be discussed with various authorities and doctors and the displacement of patients.”

Not all hospitals can be taken, only hospitals that need it. “We will be meeting with the chief ministers. We will take steps to implement more ventilator,” he said.
