Developing system to help Covid patients locate hospitals: Kejriwal

TIL Desk/National/New Delhi/ Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal has warned hospitals of serious action in case they deny treatment to any Covid positive patient and said soon a system will be developed to help patients locate the hospitals for treatment.

About surge in cases, he said there have been 3,500 new coronavirus cases and 2,500 recoveries in the last one week since the lockdown relaxations were announced. Kejriwal said no hospital can deny treatment to any patient, warning that they can face serious actions in this case.

“A patient visited a private hospital a few days back because of some breathing issues, and his test was conducted two days later. When the results came out to be positive, he was denied treatment in the same private hospital because he was found to be corona positive. Where will the patient go? No hospital can deny treatment to any patient,” he said. Kejriwal said a show cause notice has been issued to the private hospital.
