NEW DELHI, India — Liver patient Shahjahan’s family feared the worst when a New Delhi public hospital told her to leave because her bed was needed in a coronavirus unit. The capacity of medical facilities around the world has been stretched by the surge of COVID-19 patients as outbreaks worsen in many countries. Dozens of people with serious medical conditions are camped outside India’s national medical institute in tents set up by the Delhi government. The AIIMS did not immediately respond to requests for comment on the death and the patients outside. After the lockdown is removed and people start social interactions, it could spread the infection the same way COVID-19 patients could spread infection,” Bhan said.
