Twelve coronavirus patients died at the Shahdol Medical College in Madhya Pradesh allegedly due to the lack of liquid medical oxygen on Saturday night. At least 10 to 12 patients have died at the People's Hospital due to lack of oxygen. However, the hospital administration has denied the news. The oxygen supply was cut off for some time. However, patient were not killed because of it, the administration clarified.

Family members of the deceased Covid-19 patients also claimed that the deaths were caused by lack of a stable supply of oxygen. The hospital staff was informed about this and they were admitting patients. Oxygen depletion occurs late at night or in the morning due to insufficient oxygen supply. It is understood that 10 to 12 patients died due to interruption of oxygen supply on Monday morning. The hospital administration rejected the news. Oxygen supply fluctuates. However, lack of oxygen is not responsible for the death of patients. They all died due to covid complications, the hospital said.
