Coimbatore district recorded 2650 fresh cases of Covid-19 on Tuesday, pushing the total cases tally past the 1 lakh mark to 1,00,546 while 1723 patients were discharged from treatment centres.

The active cases tally has reached 14,324 after the district received more than 2500 fresh cases for the third successive day.

The cumulative death toll has reached 793 after nineteen more COVID-19 patients died between May 7 and 10, raising the toll in the district to 793.

708 beds for COVID-19 treatment, including two ICU beds and 19 beds with oxygen supply, remained vacant in different hospitals in the district as of Tuesday evening, while 276 beds were vacant in COVID Care Centres, according to the information by The Health Department.

Coimbatore is facing a severe shortage of Covaxin vaccines, due to which the recipients would have to wait longer to get their second dose.

The situation is so bad that vaccine stocks have dried up in all the private hospitals of the Coimbatore district, even government institutions have suspended vaccination sessions due to the shortage. Sources said none of the private hospitals in Coimbatore hosted a vaccination drive since May 1.
