New Delhi: The Chief Minister of Delhi on Tuesday evening assured the people of Capital that the state government will not impose any lockdown – so don’t worry. “The Delhi government is fully prepared to deal with any kind of problem posed by the Covid-19 situation,” said CM Kejriwal.
The CM Kejriwal in a statement said that “We are fully prepared. We have the ability to extend up to 37,000 beds if necessary. Our 37,000-bed capacity has yet to be utilized. If necessary, we may prepare 10000-11000 ICUs in Delhi by preparing 37,000 beds. However, there isn’t much of a need for that right now,”
On the Covid-19 situation in Delhi, he said that “I would like to convey to them that these restrictions were imposed under compulsion. I understand that we have to maintain a very delicate balance at this time. On the one hand, it concerns the employment of people, and if restrictions are imposed, people’s jobs will be jeopardized. On the other hand, if we do not impose limitations, your health and life will be jeopardized.”
Delhi reported a 25 percent surge in Covid-19 cases after recording 19,166 fresh cases. With this, the infection tally has climbed to 15,68,896.
