Chaotic, says Arvind Kejriwal on Centre”s Covid order

TIL Desk/National/New Delhi/ Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Wednesday requested the Central government to scrap the order which requires every Covid-19 patient to visit the government facility for a clinical assessment, adding that it is “chaotic”.

The Central Government had, last week, issued an order making it compulsory for new patients to visit care centres for clinical assessment to ascertain whether they should be kept in home isolation or be hospitalized. Since then, the AAP government in Delhi has been defending its home isolation approach to control the spread of coronavirus.

“The Central government”s order to have a mandatory clinical assessment of Corona positive patients in the government facility is chaotic. If a person is corona positive, and has a body temperature of 100 degree Celsius, or 102 degree Celsius, how will he or she stand in a queue for a medical check-up?” said Kejriwal in a statement.
