“There is nothing like that. We have just few patients in the wards because we have discharged patients in order to collapse some of the wards. Some of our staff will not be able to come to work because of the transportation and lockdown. We just have to ration the patients according to the number of staff that we have.
“I just left the hospital premises now. Staff are on ground seeing patients. Operations are being done though we have reduced number of patients
in the wards. Our Accident and Emergency, A&E, is open and running,” he added.
It could be recalled that a COVID-19 patient who had hidden his travel and medical history had died at the hospital on Friday.
