On the other hand, hospitals have conducted mock drills recently to check on the preparedness to meet the situation. Doctor teams inspected the functioning of oxygen plants as a part of the drill. Special wards were set up at KGH and Visakha Institute of Medical Sciences (VIMS) in Visakhapatnam to treat patients amid a rise in COVID-19 cases.
