The Pandemic
As the country sees a surge in Covid cases, largely powered by southern states, there has also been an increase in patients on oxygen support – an almost 2% rise in the past one month. In the first week of July, 7% of the active cases were on oxygen support. In early June, that percentage stood at 5-5.5%. Oxygen therapy is crucial to clinical management of patients, especially to keep fatality rates under control.
Besides ventilators and oxygen kits, the Covid-19 pandemic has turned the focus on manufacture and supply of X-ray machines and CT scanners as indispensable tools for the prognosis and management of patients with moderate and severe symptoms. Indian manufacturers are now highlighting the use of Artificial Intelligence software to make sense of images and scans of Covid patients for better diagnostics.
Singing Vande Mataram while opening the shops and the national anthem when closing them are among the set of the latest guidelines issued by the Surat Municipal Corporation to reopen the textile trading markets in the city which became Covid-19 clusters. The employees and workers will also have to shout “motivational slogans” like “haarse corona jeetse Surat (corona will lose, Surat will win)...as part of the daily drill”.
