New Delhi: The World Health Organization (WHO) on Tuesday blamed unnecessary efforts of people to flee the hospital due to uncontrolled Coronavirus infection in the country. The organization said that crowded gatherings, more contagious corona variants and corona vaccination with less speed are responsible for the second wave of corona virus in India. However, the rush of people to the hospital and the crowded gatherings made it uncontrollable.
Let us know that the death toll due to corona infection in the country is going to touch 2 lakhs. The beds in the hospitals are not empty and due to lack of oxygen, the hospitals are returning the patients. At the time of the pandemic, WHO is helping India with critical equipment, including 4 thousand oxygen concentrators, for which only electricity will be needed. WHO spokesman Tariq Jasarevic gave information about this.
He said that only 15 percent of the total people suffering from corona virus infection need to be taken to hospital, and very few of them need oxygen. Jasarevic said, “At the moment, the problem is that people are rushing to the hospital very fast about their own people, because they are not getting the right information. Corona infection can be successfully treated at home.”
He said that community health centers should screen patients and give information about safe home care. With this, people can be given correct information with the dashboard and hotline. He said that as is happening in India, it can happen in any country. If people do not follow the guidelines to keep themselves safe, crowding out and the pace of vaccination is extremely slow, then more contagious variants of the coronavirus can create a furor anywhere.
WHO Director-General said “heartbreaking”
Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, director-general of the World Health Organization (WHO), described the recent fast-growing cases of coronavirus in India as “heartbreaking”, saying that the United Nations agency has supplied vital materials in India, including several oxygen machines. Ghebreyesus said on Monday that the epidemic is increasing on a global scale.
He said that to help India in dealing with the crisis, the WHO has deployed more than 2,000 personnel and it is helping the authorities in various efforts including vaccination.
