Is Govt Failure Behind Goa’s Spike in Cases And Oxygen Shortage?

The number of total cases on 19 May stood at 23,956, but Goa has fewer than 2,300 hospital beds.

A coastal state famous for its beaches, floating casinos, crowds of tourists and a mix of international cuisine and culture, Goa is currently facing a severe spike in COVID cases, which is ripping apart the state.

While it's been racking up more than 3,000 cases every day since the surge began in April, the state on 14 May hit a record positivity rate of 51.4 per cent – the highest in the country.
