TIL Desk/National/New Delhi/ Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal media briefing on the Covid-19 situation in the national capital. Till yesterday, there were 13,418 positive cases of COVID19. Out of this 6540 have recovered and 6617 are active cases.
We have issued a show-cause notice to a private hospital that denied treatment to a patient who tested positive for COVID19. It is the hospital’s duty in such a case to provide an ambulance to the patient and take them to a COVID hospital.
The situation is under control in Delhi though I admit that COVID-19 cases are increasing slowly. Most of the cases have mild symptoms or are asymptomatic and being treated at home.
Cases have increased in Delhi due to relaxations in lockdown. But there is nothing to worry about unless the mortality rate or the number of serious cases rises rapidly. If people contract the virus and recover, then there is nothing to worry about.
