Dear Dr Harsh Vardhan,

 The ongoing second wave of COVID-19 in India with over 3.32 lakh new cases counted in the last 24 hours is extremely concerning and demands imperative and urgent action.

This is necessary in the immediate term as well as through longer term preparedness to mitigate the current medical and humanitarian crisis and to prevent its further escalation. We, concerned public health practitioners urgently request the Government of India (GOI), particularly the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare (MOHFW) to implement the following without delay.

1. Implement mitigation measures to reduce infection transmission and fatalities due to COVID-19:

 There is an urgent need for interventions at both state and district levels to facilitate easy accessibility to data about available medical facilities and then to actively ensure measures to minimise fatalities while providing humane care.

a) Maintain a real-time dashboard for available beds (with categorisations of ICU, non-ICU, oxygen and ventilator supplies) and transport facilities to ensure seamless movement, which providers and users can access through apps, websites, and functional toll-free helplines. Strengthen this service by appointment of designated nodal officers for better coordination and accessibility at least at each municipality/sub district level, towards improved and coordinated COVID-19 response measures as well as to address public grievances and gaps in services.
