The total number of Covid-19 cases in Delhi have neared 60K mark, including 24,558 active cases, 33013 cured/discharged/migrated cases and 2175 deaths.
A day after review meeting with Home Minister Amit Shah, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Monday briefed the Delhiites about the situation of novel coronavirus- Covid-19 in the national capital. Of the 25,000 active Covid-19 cases, around 12,000 are in home isolation. Around 18,000 tests are being conducted on a daily basis.
He announced that all the patients under home isolation would be given oximeters, which will help them access their oxygen level. Every district would also be provided access to oxygen concentrators. In case, the oxygen level of a particular patients drops, they can call on the helpline number and a team will reach out to me. If needed, the patient will be shifted to the hospital.
He further added that India is fighting two wars against China- coronavirus pandemic and at the border. Urging that there should be no politicisation on this matter and everyone should unite in the fight, he emphasised that just like 20 soldiers did not back down, we won’t retreat and win both the wars.
