Bengaluru: Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) has decided to reduce the number of COVID-19 government quota beds to 1,800 amid a decrease in daily COVID-19 cases reported in the city.

BBMP Chief Commissioner Gaurav Gupta said, “Every day, less than 30 Covid-infected patients are being directed for hospital admission by the civic body doctors and as the cases also have come down, we are going to reduce government quota beds. We will reserve 1,800 beds and can modify these numbers as and when required.”

According to BBMP data,  6,446 government quota beds are available in the city, of which 349 are occupied, and the net available beds are 6,093.

Of the 6,093 beds available, 2,407 are general beds, 2,625 are HDU beds, 517 are ICU beds, while 544 are ICU beds with ventilator support.
