As hospitalisation has started increasing in Mumbai, the state-run St George’s Hospital, which started working as a non-Covid hospital in May, has again started getting Covid positive cases for hospitalisation.
 
Presently, the hospital has reserved few beds for Covid-positive cases and has 21 admissions in the past 13 days. Out of the total 50 reserved beds for Covid cases, 42 per cent of the beds are occupied with new Covid patients.

Speaking about the present admitted Covid cases, Dr Akash Khobragade, medical superintendent of the hospital, says, "Most of the admitted patients are from middle-aged adult group. There are hardly any senior citizens admitted. While the cases have mild symptoms, there is no major reason to worry. None of the patients need an external oxygen supply. All the patients are from Mumbai and there are no patients below 18 years of age yet."
