Highlighting on the demand of oxygen arose during 2nd wave of Covid-19, luckily no such situation hasaroused during the third wave, the main reason behind this is the ongoing comprehensive vaccination campaign in Gujarat.as a result, the hospitalization of patients in the state today is less and the need for oxygen is less.
