Ahmedabad Covid-19 Hospital

Eleven patients have died after a fire broke out in the COVID-19 ward of the Civil Hospital in Maharashtra's Ahmednagar this morning; one patient has been seriously injured.

A case was registered against a COVID-19 patient, who had allegedly escaped from a facility in Gujarat's Ahmedabad city, and brought back after nearly 24 hours, an official said today.

Hours after they performed the last rites of a 71-year-old man who died as a "coronavirus suspect", his kin received a call from a government hospital in Gujarat's Ahmedabad saying his sample had tested negative and, hence, they should shift him to a non-COVID ward.

The Gujarat High Court said on Tuesday that there was a lack of "proper team work and coordination" at Ahmedabad Civil Hospital, where around 400 COVID-19 patients have died so far.

Human life is precious and cannot be wasted, the Gujarat High Court said on Saturday, pulling up the Civil Hospital in Ahmedabad, one of the largest in the country, for its handling of COVID-19 cases and patients.
