Mohali, August 18

The Mohali district administration has procured 30 ventilators, which would be installed in the selected institutions by Thursday. Mohali Deputy Commissioner Girish Dayalan said enough of respiratory care infrastructure was in stock.

The administration will conduct random rapid tests through mobile vans in areas around large industries and places such as Labour Chowk to increase testing range.

He directed all private hospitals to increase tertiary Covid care bed capacity to cope up with the surge in cases.

The Expert Referral Committee of the district comprising the Civil Surgeon and doctors from other government and private hospitals has access to bed status in every health institution on a real-time basis. — TNS
