COVID crisis: Health Minister Harsh Vardhan briefs media on oxygen shortage

Union Health Minister Harsh Vardhan on April 29 said that oxygen is being made available from many sources.

"Oxygen was available in adequate quantity earlier also and now it is being made available from many sources -- by mobilizing it from industry and abroad and by making available storage tankers and cryogenic tankers.

At the same time, right info regarding oxygen is also very crucial.

There's no need to rush to hospitals as a result of panic reactions," said Health Minister.
