5 patients killed in fire at COVID hospital in Gujarat’s Rajkot

Five patients were killed after a fire broke out in the ICU of a designated COVID-19 hospital in Rajkit in Gujarat early on November 27.

Thirty coronavirus patients being treated at the hospital were rescued, reports said. Chief Minister Vijay Rupani has ordered a probe into the incident, according to a news agency.

The fire broke out in the ICU of Uday Shivanand Hospital in Mavdi area around 1 am. The cause of the fire is yet to be ascertained.

“We rushed to the spot and rescued 30 patients after a call informing about the fire was received. Three patients died inside the ICU,” a fire brigade official was quoted as saying by a news agency.

The rescued patients have been shifted to other COVID-19 hospitals, he added.

In August, eight COVID-19 patients were killed after a fire broke out on the top floor of a four-storey private hospital in Ahmedabad.
