Kashmir's COVID-19 response is literally on a Ventilator going by the red flag raised by the Srinagar administration about hospitals running out of beds for virus hit patients.

�The first hundred COVID-19 patients died in 103 days and next 100 in only 15 days. There is a spike in cases and we don't have enough beds to admit all positive patients,"said by Dr. Naveed Nazir Shah, a leading doctor at the Chest Disease Hospital, was tweeted by the Srinagar administration on Sunday.

Shah is head of department at Chest Diseases Hospital, a premier institute that has been on the forefront of fighting the pandemic. Four other hospitals in Srinagar are coping with the pandemic that is proliferating into clusters and wider areas.

�Hospitals are full and now people have no option but to take care of themselves and exhibit great caution. People should wear mask, maintain physical,� Shah spoke with a deadpan expression reflective of Kashmir's crumbling healthcare structure.
