The Delhi Government on Friday asked labs in the national Capital to give corona test reports within 24 hours otherwise they cannot conduct testing.
“If due to any reason, there is a delay, action will be taken against them after 48 hours. This has happened as some labs were taking 10-15 days for report,” Delhi Health Minister Satyender Jain said.
While answering a query about hiding Covid-19 patient data, Jain explained that there is no question of hiding any data by the Delhi Government because if someone tests positive, it should not be hidden.
“Once the reports come, the hospitals have to inform the Government. Across the world, we are witnessing that the frontline workers are more vulnerable to this infection but in Delhi, the situation is better,” he said.
Jain said, “All these predictions are made by doctors and scientists. Earlier also cases were predicted, but the cases are lesser than what we predicted. If they say Covid-19 cases will reach their peak in June, it might happen as patterns of other countries are also similar.”
The Delhi Government is also releasing the Tablighi Jamaat members from quarantine centres after they overstayed their allotted quota.
