With the worsening covid situation in India, more people are taking to social media platforms to find medical resources like hospital beds, oxygen cylinders, etc near them. Twitter has witnessed a massive surge in users who are posting updates about help, supplies, SOS, and more such situations in the past few weeks. To help those in distress, the microblogging site has unveiled its Advanced Search feature that helps people find the latest information and access resources.

So, if you are looking for data around hospital beds, oxygen cylinders, or medicines, then you have to keep your search on Twitter limited to these keywords. The key to finding the correct info on Twitter is related to your specific query, so keep it around the most important search keywords.
