Just 300 Intensive Care Beds Available in Hospitals across the Country: DGHS

Only 300 Intensive Care Units (ICUs) beds are available in hospitals across the country, according to the Directorate General of Health Services (DGHS).

On Sunday (July 11th), DGHS spokesman Professor Dr Md Robed Amin made the remarks in a virtual bulletin on the overall Covid-19 situation.

"The infection rate is much higher across the country last month," Robed said. One lakh 12 thousand 718 patients were infected in June. In the first 10 days of July, we saw about one lakh patients become infected. As the infection rate continues to rise, hospital beds will no longer be empty in the next seven to 10 days.

Numerous ICU beds were empty last month. The number of those empty beds is slowly decreasing.
