There are reports from Jamaica’s sole producer of medical oxygen, IGL that there is currently a shortage due the ongoing spike in cases.
According to a statement, the company said it has run out of the supply and has advised hospitals and medical practitioners to carefully use what is on hand until the situation can be remedied, hopefully by Monday.
This development coincides with a declaration by the Health Ministry that public hospitals will only be conducting emergency services as COVID cases exceed current capacity for isolation.
