To facilitate India’s attempts to combat the COVID-19 pandemic, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) will donate 10-liter 2000 oxygen concentrators.

A large number of Covid-19 cases have been reported across the country, and medical oxygen is in short supply in numerous areas.

Several sports figures and organizations have provided oxygen concentrators to boost India’s fight against extremely contagious infection.

“The nation has been hit by an unprecedented second wave of the coronavirus with demands for medical equipment and life-saving oxygen witnessing a major spike,” said BCCI in its tweet.
