In the wake of the rising Covid-19 cases in Delhi, Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal has called an emergency meeting on Friday at his residence to review an action plan to deal with rising number of coronavirus cases in the national Capital.
Health Minister Satyendar Jain along with his department officials will be a part of the meeting. Owing to the surge in cases, Kejriwal shall deliberate on preparing an action plan to fight the pandemic, including issues like containment zones, vaccination drive, and maintaining availability of hospital beds. The departmental officials have also been instructed to prepare and present an action plan to tackle the pandemic.
The Health Department has increased its vigilance measures and has taken a number of monumental steps to combat Covid-19. After the orders given by Kejriwal, beds in 33 private hospitals have been increased by 25per cent for ICU and 25per cent for normal ward beds respectively.
The CM has announced that stringent action will be taken against those found without masks in public. At the district level, the surveillance teams are overseeing that the people follow Covid appropriate behaviour, the most important one being that they wear masks.
The Delhi Government is making the vaccination drive reachable to those who have been unable to register for the jabs due to personal reasons. Such people can directly walk-in into the vaccine centre and get injected with the vaccine between 3 pm and 9 pm.
