COVID-19 deaths abruptly increases in J&K on Wednesday with 13 people dying of the viral illness in a day, the toll reaching 209.

In the past 15 days, the death toll attributed to COVID-19 rose from 101 to 209. The deaths doubled in two weeks, revealing a high mortality of patients. While many doctors believe that the rise in the number of deaths was reflective of the “actual number of cases” in the community, hospitals are grappling to accommodate moderately and critically sick COVID-19 patients.
