Seven Covid patients in UP's Meerut succumb due to oxygen crisis at hospitals: Doctors

New Delhi/IBNS: At least seven Covid patients have died in two hospitals in Uttar Pradesh's Meerut due to alleged scarcity of oxygen, media reports said.

Three Covid patients died at a private hospital, Anand hospital, in Meerut. Another four died at the KMC hospital.

The doctors have attributed the deaths to severe oxygen shortage in these hospitals.

Even after a massive spike in the cases and severe crisis of oxygen across the country, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has time and again asserted that there is no death of oxygen supply in his state.

However, according to media reports, several hospitals in Meerut have asked the patients' families to arrange oxygen citing a shortage of life-saving gas in stock.
