The state government engaged the East Godavari district collector in hiring a movers and packers company to ship them to the districts.

Of the 400 concentrators, 200 were allocated to East Godavari district, 100 to West Godavari, 50 each to Krishna and Srikakulam.

East Godavari and West Godavari are the districts that have logged high numbers of infections on a daily basis while Chittoor, another high caseload district, did not receive any concentrator from this lot.
