According to the opposition, 8 more people died of oxygen shortage in Goa medical college last night taking the tally to 83. However, no official announcement has been made of these 8 deaths
Chief Minister Pramod Sawant on May 11, had said that the main reason for the mass deaths caused by oxygen shortage at the Goa Medical College (GMC) was because of the lack of expert drivers in the state for ferrying of oxygen to the apex health facility on time.
In a status report filed before the High Court bench in Goa, the government also announced a reversal of its earlier decision to ban private oxygen suppliers from refilling oxygen cylinders for NGOs and Covid patients.
