In this COVID19 wave, the peak occurred early, we did not get time to act to delay the peak. There are many reasons for this including the Assembly elections. We had anticipated a spike in daily cases and doubled our ICU beds, ventilators etc.: Kerala Health Minister KK Shailaja Image
On average below 65% of our ICU beds and 23% of ventilators are full. This is a difficult situation. But no patient in the state died because he/she did not get a bed/ventilator: Kerala Health Minister KK Shailaja
The oxygen plant in Konjikode is producing around 200 MT of oxygen. We want that Kerala should utilise the oxygen produced from this plant but the Centre is asking us to supply oxygen from this plant to other states too.Kerala's oxygen consumption is 100MT: Kerala Health Minister
