India's second-largest IT services company Infosys stated it has set up COVID care centres at Pune and Bengaluru for its employees and their families, and is in process of setting up similar facilities across its major offices in the country.

The company, which gets 86 % of its revenues from markets like the US and Europe, stated that it sees no impact on its client deliverables due to the current health situation.

India is registering a record number of COVID-19 cases daily that has put extreme pressure on the healthcare infrastructure of the country. The number of new coronavirus infections touched 3,52,991 cases and 2,812 fatalities, as per the Union health ministry data updated on Monday at 8 am.

The massive rise in infections in the second wave of the pandemic has led to hospitals in several states reeling under a shortage of medical oxygen and beds. Social media timelines are filled with SOS calls with people looking for oxygen cylinders, hospital beds, plasma donors and ventilators.

"In order to support employees and their family members who have contracted COVID-19 and need special medical care beyond home quarantine, Infosys has set up Employee COVID Care Centres in Pune and Bengaluru.

"These centres would be managed by Ruby Hall hospital for Pune, and Manipal Hospitals for Bengaluru," Infosys stated in an e-mailed statement.

Infosys is also in the process of setting up similar care centres across its major offices in India, it added in the statement.

"At present, we continue to operate in a remote model across our offices and see no impact on our client deliverables due to the health situation," it added.
