The team involved has totally set up five more such facilities, a 75-bed centre in Rajkot; among others. Total of 725 beds across seven centres have been handed over to the authorities so far. The PIIndia has over a dozen MPs in its team, alongside organisations and institutions who all wanted to seek and utilise innovation as a tool to fight Covid-19.
