As many as 313 coaches in the South Western Railway (SWR) Zone have been converted into quarantine centres comprising 2,400 isolation wards to combat novel coronavirus, Union Minister of State Suresh Angadi has said. "SWR has already achieved the target of turning 313 coaches into isolation wards, which have a 2,400-bed capacity (calculated with eight beds in a coach). In a bid to increase the capacity for isolation facilities, the railways have converted sleeper class coaches into COVID-19 isolation wards," he said in Hubballi on Friday.
