A Covid patient has died after attempting to leave an Intensive Care Unit in Anuradhapura.
The man had died after his health condition had worsened after falling down when trying to leave the ICU.
The deceased has been identified as a 37-year-old father of one from the Yasasiripura area in Anuradhapura.
The man had initially been admitted to the Anuradhapura Teaching Hospital on Tuesday (10) but had been transferred to the ICU yesterday (11) after his health condition had become serious.
However, the patient had removed the oxygen and saline drip and had shattered the glass door of his room to leave the centre, but had collapsed outside the door due to his health condition.
The Covid patient had died a few minutes after the staff at the Intensive Care Unite had recommenced treatment after admitting him to the Intensive Care Unit. (NewsWire)
