Bengaluru Private Hospital says no bed for COVID positive Kumaraswamy!
Bengaluru: Former Chief Minister H.D Kumaraswamy was diagnosed with Corona on Saturday, but as he approached a private hospital in Bengaluru for treatment, he was allegedly told that there were no beds available in the hospital, it is learned.
Kumaraswamy, who had gone for the Basavakalyana constituency’s election campaigning, reportedly began to experience fatigue since Friday evening. Therefore he returned to Bengaluru but did not go to his house and instead stayed in a hotel. On Saturday morning, he contacted the doctors and underwent a COVID test, which came positive and confirmed he had contracted corona. Thereafter, the doctors reportedly asked Kumaraswamy to immediately get hospitalized for treatment.
Therefore, Kumaraswamy decided to go to a private hospital and reportedly contacted the concerning individuals for the same but received a response that stated there were no beds in the hospital. Health Minister Sudhakar who received information about this tried to procure a bed for Kumaraswamy in the Manipal Hospital but seemingly failed to get one. Subsequently, Kumaraswamy contacted another private hospital and was able to get a bed there, it is learned.
However, due to his imminent attendance at the court concerning a case, Kumaraswamy did not admit himself to the hospital despite getting a bed. But, in the background of his contracting corona, it is learned that he will not be able to attend the court hearing in person. Therefore, Kumaraswamy has reportedly decided to attend the court hearing via video conference.
Vidhana Parishad Member, H.M Rameshgowda informed that Kumaraswamy would get admitted to the hospital for his treatment after attending the scheduled court hearing.
