The Minister of Health Dr Frank Anthony yesterday announced that the authorities are working to set up an oxygen plant at the country’s infectious disease hospital.
This disclosure was made during Dr Anthony’s daily COVID-19 update where he stated that this move would reduce the amount of oxygen purchased for the facility. Previously the minister had stated that while the hospitals managing COVID-19 patients have not had any issues with oxygen supply, if cases were to increase exponentially, they could run out of oxygen.
