Corona: ICU cases Increased in Hyd

There seems to be no end for the Corona pandemic in the near sight. While the official number of Covid cases seem to have slowed down Telangana, the latest is that the number of the Covid cases that require Intensive Care Unit (ICU) treatment have also increased.

As per the latest statistics, one-fifth of the total Covid cases are having requirements of the ICU treatment. This is mainly due to other health complications that arose due to Covid. While a few are having immunity issues, lack of strength, many others are suffering from the other complications.

Also patients who initially neglected the Covid and having imposing self isolation at homes are getting hospitalised at later stages. In some cases, people are shifting from regular Covid wards to the ICUs and are providing life support. Doctors are advising patients to get the tests done at the right time and get the treatment at the earliest.
