WHO warns of oxygen shortage as Covid cases set to top 10 million

The new coronavirus has hit 9.3 million people and killed more than 480,000 so far and is rising by about 1 million cases per week. This has pushed oxygen demand to 88,000 large cylinders per day, or 620,000 cubic metres of oxygen, World Health Organization head Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said.
