Typhoon That hit the coast of India

 
Strong winds and a devastating typhoon hit the coast of western India, affecting the country's response to the corona virus epidemic.

According to media reports, at least 12 people were killed by heavy rains and winds.

The Indian Meteorological Department tweeted that "That is close to the coast of Gujarat and the process of hitting the ground has started and will continue for the next two hours."

"Because of the cyclone system, the winds are blowing at speeds of 155 to 165 kilometers per hour,".

He issued a 13-foot-high storm warning for coastal districts of Gujarat.

India's massive cyclone system, visible from space, has repulsed India's response to the corona virus, killing at least 4,000 people every day and filling hospitals already.

Authorities closed Mumbai's airport and urged people to stay indoors, while authorities transferred 580 Corona patients from three field hospitals to "safe places".

The Chief Minister's Office said the storm killed six people and injured nine in the state of Maharashtra.

Two navy ships have been deployed to evacuate 273 people off the coast of Mumbai and assist in rescue operations, the defense ministry said in a statement.

In the neighboring state of Gujarat, about 1.5 million people have been evacuated, while all code-19 patients in hospitals five kilometers from the coast have also been evacuated.

Authorities there are ensuring that 400 special code hospitals and 41 oxygen plants near 12 coastal districts are not cut off.

Chief Minister Vijay Ropani told reporters that generators and power backups have been provided to more than a thousand code hospitals in coastal cities with 744 health teams working together.

"Gujarat needs 1,000 tonnes of oxygen per day while an additional stock of 1,700 tonnes has been saved and can be used in case of emergency," he said.
