In Uttar Pradesh’s Mewla Gopalgarh village, roughly 70 kilometres from the national capital of New Delhi, a makeshift hospital has emerged for COVID-19 patients as well as for people complaining of COVID-19 symptoms as they struggle to find a bed in hospitals, both government and private.
After The Wire first reported on the issue, local government officials organised a testing and sanitisation drive in the village and provided treatment to the patients.
