Mumbai has emerged as the epicentre of the novel coronavirus outbreak in Maharashtra. In recent days, multiple reports have pointed out poor management on the part of hospitals in the city treating Covid-19 patients. However, there seems to be no change in the situation on the ground.

Maharashtra CM Uddhav Thackeray on Friday had warned Mumbai hospitals of action. Less than 24 hours after he urged the officials concerned to ensure that the incident from Sion Hospital is not repeated, two more videos have come to light from Mumbai's Sion and KEM hospitals.

SION HOSPITAL

The first video shows two novel suspected coronavirus patients sharing the same bed. Kin of the patients can also be seen inside the same ward which is a clear violation of the safety guidelines. In the same video, the bodies of patients who succumbed to Covid-19 can be seen lying inside the same ward. While one body rests on a stretcher, the other is seen lying on the floor.
