The Tamil Nadu government on Saturday said oxygen manufacturing industries in the State have been instructed to explore methods to increase production.

Tankers carrying medical oxygen are being provided with a ‘green corridor’ along with police patrol wherever necessary to increase the availability of oxygen, it said in a statement.

The government said in anticipation of an increase in demand for medical oxygen from COVID-19 treatment facilities such as hospitals/nursing homes, it has been taking a slew of measures.

In order to resolve any issues related to medical oxygen supply faced by such hospitals/nursing homes, the government has established a 24×7 call centre under the State Drug Controller. Hospitals/nursing homes in Tamil Nadu facing any shortage of medical oxygen may immediately call 104 for assistance, it added.
