An oxygen war room has been opened at the Kochi metro station building at Kaloor to ensure availability of medical oxygen for COVID-19 patients.
The war room will also coordinate the supply of oxygen to centres where it is required. A shifting control room and data centre for ensuring hospital-based medical treatment for needy patients have also started functioning.
Around 80 persons have been deployed at the war room, said a communication from District Collector S. Suhas.
