He said the state is supplying oxygen as per the requirement to all hospitals. Also an oxygen cylinder refilling facility is being made available to the patients staying in home isolation.
A portal has been made for this system on which not only patients are applying but also social organisations are getting themselves registered.
Noting that earlier the infection was limited to urban areas, but has started spreading in rural areas now, Khattar said that teams have been constituted to conduct door-to-door investigations in the villages.
