Addressing a press conference, Chief Secretary Rajiva Sinha said the system has been started with three Covid-19 hospitals in Kolkata, and in another week 84 hospitals in the state will be brought under its purview.

Further, he said the state has made provisions to provide oxygen support at all the beds in the Covid-19 hospitals.

Oxygen support will be available in all the 11,775 beds now, Sinha said.
