“In two days of fever, some patients are developing acute breathing pressure syndrome,” said Dr.

All of these cases are categorized as diseases such as dengue fever,” Dr.

ICU in several private hospitals ran with full capacity.
“We accept patients with high oxygen needs along with atypical pneumonia and pneumonia viruses.
But, the good is that they all respond well on treatment,” said Dr.

From various parts of the city, such cases were reported including a retired government employee from the Shastri Nagar area, which had lung involvement and low platelet count.
“When he was taken to me, the number of platelets was under one lakh per microliter of blood and his lungs had an infection.
