The Delhi Government from Wednesday will start online yoga and meditation classes for Covid-19 patients in home isolation, Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal said on Tuesday.
While addressing a virtual press conference, Kejriwal informed that under the initiative, each COVID patient will be sent a link to register for virtual yoga classes.
From Wednesday, trained instructors will conduct hour-long classes in the morning and evening, he said.
"The Delhi Government is starting a new initiative under 'Delhi ki Yogshaala' for the speedy recovery of all the Covid patients under home isolation. Yoga boosts immunity... We will send them a link today and classes to begin from tomorrow in different batches," CM Kejriwal said.
Yoga classes will be conducted from 6 am to 11 am and 4 pm to 7 pm. “Patients can register at any time. However, not more than 15 patients will be allowed in one batch so that the Yoga instructor could focus on each patient and the participants can interact with their instructor individually,” Kejriwal added.
Stressing that yoga can help boost immunity, Kejriwal said the Delhi government has made arrangements to conduct online classes for up to 40,000 patients in home isolation.
