Delhi CM Kejriwal announces de-linking of hotels from hospitals in Delhi

TIL Desk/National/New Delhi/ Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal today announced de-linking of hotels from hospitals in view of the improving COVID-19 situation in the national capital.

Mr Kejriwal said all beds in such hotels, which were recently attached to hospitals, were lying vacant for the last many days. The decision was taken after the Chief Minister reviewed the COVID-19 situation in the city.

“Some hotels were attached to hospitals to increase the number of COVID beds. In view of the improving situation and all hotel beds lying vacant for the last many days, these hotels are now being released,” Mr Kejriwal tweeted.

As the city started witnessing a surge in number of COVID-19 cases last month, the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government had attached around 40 hotels to hospitals to increase the bed capacity in the city.
