    After backlash, Delhi L-G withdraws 5-day mandatory institutional quarantine order
  • Delhi Lieutenant Governor Anil Baijal has withdrawn a controversial order mandating a five-day institutional quarantine for COVID-19 patients.

    The order had been issued on Friday, drawing criticism from the ruling Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) in Delhi.

    Critics had said that making patients undergo a five-day institutional quarantine would worsen the already-stressed health infrastructure in the national capital.

    Here are more details.

  • Information

    COVID-19 treatment at private hospitals at subsidized rates approved

  • In another tweet, Baijal said the DDMA has also approved the recommendations of a high-level Expert Committee for fixing subsidized rates for COVID-19 treatment in private hospitals across Delhi. 100% of beds in Delhi will be made available at lower prices, Sisodia added.

  • Criticism

    Why did the Delhi government oppose the order?

  • Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal had questioned why a separate rule had been issued for Delhi when patients with mild/no symptoms could be isolated at home as per the ICMR's guidelines.

    Kejriwal reportedly said, "Most COVID-19 patients are asymptomatic or with mild symptoms. How will arrangements be made for them? The coaches provided by the Railways for isolation are hot inside where patients cannot stay."

  • Information

    Without home-isolation, Delhi would've required 1 lakh beds by June-end

  • The Delhi government had said that if all patients are required to undergo institutional quarantine, the city would require one lakh hospital beds by the end of June. Delhi is projected to have one lakh COVID-19 cases by June-end.

  • Senior AAP leader and Rajya Sabha MP Sanjay Singh had slammed the Friday order saying, "One rule for Delhi and another for rest of the country." He had asked, "Where will the person be kept, in railway coaches?"

    AAP MLA Raghav Chadha had said, "People in my assembly called me and told me that we will not get tested now. People are that scared."

  • Information

    Delhi's COVID cases rise; cross 50,000-mark

  • Till Friday, Delhi had reported 53,116 COVID-19 cases, including 23,569 recoveries and 2,035 deaths. The number of infections in the national capital has been spiking of late, raising worries of its health infrastructure's capacity to handle the patient load.
