Weak medical infrastructure and rising Covid cases results in rural India turning to quacks for help

Covid-19 cases have begun to surge in the rural parts of India. However, India's villages do not have the necessary medical infrastructure to cope with this crisis. As a result, illegal hospitals and quacks have come up in the villages.

They do not have proper equipment including ventilators and oxygen, but they charge the villagers huge amounts of money.
