Coronavirus Live: 'No State Has Reported Covid Deaths Due To Oxygen Crisis', Says BJP's Sambit Patra

Background

Coronavirus LIVE Wednesday, July 21: As the pandemic's second wave flattens, only 1,464 tested Covid positive in a day, while 29 patients succumbed to the infection in Karnataka, said the state health bulletin on Tuesday.

"With 1,464 new cases registered on Monday, the state's Covid tally increased to 28,86,702, including 26,256 active cases, while 28,24,197 recovered so far, with 2,706 patients discharged during the day," said the bulletin.

As epi-centre of the pandemic in the state, Bengaluru, however, reported only 352 fresh cases on Monday, taking its Covid tally to 12,22,807, including 10,046 active cases, while recoveries rose to 11,96,807, with 1,110 patients discharged over the last 24 hours.

Following Bengaluru, 200 new cases were reported in Dakshina Kannada, 117 in Mysuru and 108 in Hassan districts across the state on Monday.

The virus claimed 29 lives, including 5 in Bengaluru, taking the state's death toll to 36,226 and the city's toll to 15,807 since the pandemic broke out in mid-March a year ago.

President Joe Biden has said that even though the United States has seen a dramatic drop in the number of COVID-19 deaths due to its vaccination program, the country needs to remain vigilant about the Delta variant of coronavirus.

Stressing the need for people to get vaccinated, he said "virtually all" of the Covid deaths and hospitalisations are among the unvaccinated.

The highly contagious Delta variant, also known as B.1.617.2, was first detected in India in December and is spreading quickly across the globe. In some parts of America, the Delta strain accounts for more than 80 per cent of new infections, including some Midwestern states like Missouri, Kansas and Iowa.

People whose kin died due to oxygen shortage should take Centre to court: Raut

Shiv Sena MP Sanjay Raut on Wednesday said people whose relatives died due to oxygen shortage during the second wave of COVID-19 pandemic should "take the Union government to court".

Raut's comments came a day after the central government said in the Rajya Sabha that no deaths due to lack of oxygen were specifically reported by states and UTs during the second COVID-19 wave.

Reacting to it, Raut said, Many people have died due to oxygen shortage in several states.Those whose relatives (COVID-19 patients) died due to oxygen shortage should take the Union government to court."

"The Union government is running away from the truth. I seems it is the effect of Pegasus (Israeli spyware), the Rajya Sabha member said sarcastically while talking to reporters.

The Sena's chief spokesperson further said it needs to be found out whether the people whose relatives died due to lack of oxygen supply believe in the Centre's response in Parliament over the issue.

The Union government on Tuesday said in the Rajya Sabha that there was an unprecedented surge in demand for medical oxygen during the second wave and it peaked at nearly 9,000 MT compared to 3,095 MT in the first wave, following which the Centre had to step in to facilitate equitable distribution among the states.

No state sent the data of death due to oxygen shortage: Sambit Patra

"Centre says that as no State/UT sent any data regarding deaths specifically due to shortage of oxygen, since none of them said that a death occurred in their State/UT due to shortage of oxygen, there is no data for that. Did the Centre generate this data? No": Sambit Patra, BJP

'No Deaths Due To Lack Of Oxygen': Tamil Nadu Health Min

No deaths took place due to lack of oxygen in our State. Union Health Min stated the same in Rajya Sabha. Even in Tamil Nadu, the health minister voiced the same opinion: Vishwas Sarang, Madhya Pradesh Medical Education Min on Centre saying 'no deaths due to lack of oxygen'

TN Health Minister M. Subramaniam also supported Centre's statement in the Rajya Sabha and said, "There are no deaths due to oxygen shortage in Tamil Nadu. CM has worked on a war footing to prevent this. When we faced lack of oxygen, we came in touch with the Centre at once and procured oxygen from them. So we didn't face big effects here."
