Dayakar Rao assured them that the State government was making all required arrangements to ensure quality treatment to Covid-19 patients. Besides MGMH, treatment was being extended at all government hospitals and those infected with Coronavirus need not go to private hospitals, Dayakar Rao said.

He asked the doctors to monitor the health status of the patients from time to time and better treatment should be provided as required to all the patients so as to avoid loss of lives. He enquired about stocks of medicines and oxygen reserves available at the hospital for the patients.

Later, speaking to the media, Dayakar Rao said that of the 800 beds available at the hospital, 650 were oxygen beds and currently 400 covid patients were being treated. Enough oxygen reserves were available at the hospital.
