Seventy-four patients have died at the Goa Medical College and Hospital - the biggest Covid facility in the state - in the past four days, all reportedly due to a lack of medical oxygen.
Thirteen people died in the "critical dark hours" between 1 am and 6 am on Friday, according to former Deputy Chief Minister Vijai Sardesai, whose Goa Forward Party quit the ruling BJP-led National Democratic Alliance last month over its "anti-Goan policies".
