Chandigarh, May 14

Chandigarh Administration said on Friday that it was launching an online e-permit system to help COVID-19 patients access medical oxygen at home.

The administration said on Friday those who need oxygen cylinders could file an application for e-permits with a doctor’s prescription and proof of address. The application could be submitted to Chandigarh administration’s website chandigarh.gov.in/health_covid19.htm 

Once the application is approved, the applicant will get an intimation.  The approval will be valid for two days.
