According to National Institute of Health (NIH), condition of 126 COVID patients is critical and they are being treated in intensive care units (ICU).
Authorities, however, have started imposing restrictions in a bid to curb the infection rate — making ‘wearing masks’ mandatory for passengers travelling on public transport, including busses and trains.
