Badly-affected cities like Maharashtra and Delhi have almost run out of hospital beds. The situation is much direr when it comes to ICU beds. Several cities have just a few dozen ICU beds left and they are now frantically trying to build extra capacity in hotels and stadiums. 3) There is also an acute shortage of PPE kits for Healthcare Providers working at Primary Healthcare Centres which has now enhanced because of the humongous increase in the number of fresh cases.
