BENGALURU : At the height of the Covid-19 outbreak in the Chinese province of Wuhan, where the coronavirus emerged, a Bengaluru startup’s innovation helped deal with it.
Wuhan will be coming out of quarantine on April 8, after two and a half months of a lockdown, with new infections dropping to zero.
As a Chinese official told Bloomberg in February, “It’s like fighting a war—some things are hard but must be done." One of the measures Wuhan took was to set up emergency medical centres on a war footing.
Ventilators were vital and many came from a German manufacturer, Huber & Ranner. The trouble was technicians could not go to Wuhan to help install them.
