In the past 24 hours, seven deaths were recorded — four in Maharashtra, and one each in Delhi, Tamil Nadu, and Gujarat — bringing the total fatalities in the recent surge to 44.
In response, the central government has launched a nationwide COVID-19 mock drill today (June 5) to assess hospital preparedness. The drill will evaluate key areas like oxygen supply systems, isolation wards, ventilators, and availability of essential medicines, aiming to ensure that states are fully equipped in case of a further spike in infections.
This proactive step comes after high-level review meetings led by DGHS Dr. Sunita Sharma, and follows a smaller drill held on June 2 focusing on medical oxygen infrastructure. Health facilities have been directed to ensure all systems, including PSA plants and LMO tanks, are fully operational and ready.
States like Kerala, Maharashtra, and Delhi continue to report the highest number of cases. With the Indian Meteorological Department forecasting thunderstorms and heavy rainfall in several regions, authorities are on high alert to manage both pandemic and weather-related disruptions.
