    What's the story

    Over 2,550 distress calls from COVID-19 patients were dispatched to ambulances in the national capital daily for the last one week, numbers compiled by the Delhi government show, highlighting the severity of the ongoing wave of the pandemic.

    The cumulative figure of 17,924 calls in the past one week does not include the ones made by patients to private ambulances.

    Ambulance calls

    A visible jump as compared to first week of April

    According to data, at least 2,560 calls from coronavirus patients were being dispatched to ambulances in the city daily for the past week as the number of cases continues to show an upward trend in Delhi.

    This is a visible jump from the calls made by patients every day to ambulances during the first week of April, which was within the range of 1,200-1,900.

    Information

    2,861 calls made on April 20, highest in the week

    While 2,279 calls were dispatched to ambulances on both April 15 and 16, the number went up to 2,861 on April 20 - highest in the last week - and 2,618 on April 21. A total of 1,347 people succumbed to COVID-19 during the period.

    COVID-19 deaths

    COVID-19 deaths in Delhi continue to rise

    The reported number of fatalities was 277 on April 20, 240 on April 19, 161 on April 18, 167 on April 17, 141 on April 16, and 112 on April 15.

    Given the rise in the number of COVID-19 deaths, the Delhi civic authorities have now started working on a real-time monitoring system and a central control room for crematoriums and burial grounds.

    Delhi recorded 24,638 COVID-19 cases and 249 deaths on Wednesday

    Delhi recorded 24,638 fresh COVID-19 cases and 249 deaths due to the viral disease on Wednesday, while the positivity rate stood at 31.28 percent, meaning almost every third sample tested positive, amid a growing clamor for oxygen and hospital beds in the city.

    Only 18 ICU beds for COVID-19 patients were available in hospitals across Delhi at 11 pm, according to government data.
