An open-air COVID hospital opened in an Indian village - drips are clung to trees



In the Indian village of Mevla-Gopalget, alternative medicine doctors have set up a makeshift open-air clinic to treat patients with COVID-19.

Mevla-Gopalget is located in India's most populous state, Uttar Pradesh, a 90-minute drive from the capital, Delhi.

There is no doctor or medical facility in the village. There is a government hospital nearby, it is noted, but it has no available beds, and villagers say they cannot afford private clinics.

Reuters notes that patients lie on cots under a tree, a bag of glucose hanging from a branch and cows grazing around.
