After the Union Health Ministry, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal has asserted that we have to learn to live with coronavirus. Sharing the briefing on COVID-19 situation in Delhi on his Twitter profile on Sunday, Kejriwal said that the overall figure of coronavirus cases might be increasing but people are also getting cured and going back to their homes. It is important that we learn to live with coronavirus.

In his briefing, Arvind Kejriwal said that of the 6,923 coronavirus positive cases in Delhi, 1,476 people are in hospital and only 27 people are on ventilator. Majority of the cases that are coming to light are either mild or asymptomatic. It has also been observed that there are more deaths among the elderly people.

Arrangements have been made to treat asymptomatic people and people with mild symptoms within the confines of their homes. It has also been ensured that the health officials remain in constant touch with the patients so that they do not face any discomfort. An order has also been issued for the requisition of private ambulances. While they will continue to offer their services to private hospitals, they would have to lend their services to government hospitals too, if need be.
