With hospitals overflowing and people running around to find beds for their kin gurdu- waras, temples, Haj houses have all WARRIOR AND H stepped forward to accommodate Cov- id-19 patients providing for basic medical facilities needed for treating them. Delhi, which was finding it difficult to manage the crisis, found the Radha POWER OF Soami Satsang Beas offering its huge premises in Chattarpur for a 500-bed Covid hospital which is run by the medical wing of the Indo-Tibetan Border Po- lice. At that time the Delhi government was facing an acute shortage of hospital beds. Likewise, the BEING CALM Green Park mosque in south Delhi set up a 10-bed quarantine centre and was taking in patients on the basis of doctor’s prescription. In Kerala, the Catho- lic Church offered over 1,940 intensive care unit beds in 200 of its hospitals to be converted into isolation wards for treating Covid-19 patients. A Covid facil- ity at Lucknow’s Haj House is to soon become op- erational as a 250-bed L3 Covid-19 hospital. It is one community which has stood out for yeo- man’s service in the country’s hour of need. The 300-bed Guru Tegh Bahadur Covid Care Centre at Gurudwara Rakab Ganj in central Delhi became operational on Monday. All beds have oxygen sup- ply and the Centre has all the necessary drugs needed in the treatment of Covid-19. Fifty doctors from the Lok Nayak Jai Prakash Narayan hospital of the Delhi government will manage the Centre.
