Doctors warn Delhi’s intensive care units are full and COVID-19 symptoms are getting worse
Even as coronavirus infections begin to ease in Delhi, doctors are warning that this latest wave of COVID-19 in the city has been far deadlier than before and young people have been among the worst hit.
Dr Farah Husain — who leads an ICU in Delhi’s largest coronavirus hospital, LNJP — said the city’s intensive care units are still full or close to capacity because patients are experiencing symptoms more severe than what was seen in previous waves.
It meant patients were occupying beds for longer.
“We were expecting a number [to] rise in the cases,” Dr Farah said.
“What we were not expecting was the rise in the severity that was seen in the younger and the middle-age group.”
