Will have to wait more for the removal of restrictions in Delhi, will monitor the situation for 3-4 days - Satyendar Jain

Delhi Health Minister Satyendra Jain said that even for a week, the admissions of patients in hospitals have not increased. We have prepared 37,000 covid beds, out of which only 15,600 beds have been used.


Restrictions regarding Delhi Corona (symbolic picture)

Delhi Health Minister Satyendra Jain said on Wednesday that now is not the right time to lift the restrictions imposed to prevent corona in the city. At present, the government will monitor it for three to four days. He also said that the city saw around 13,000 cases on Wednesday, taking the positivity rate to around 24 percent.

The corona positivity rate in Delhi has come down from 30 percent to 22.5 percent, but it is not that all the restrictions should be lifted suddenly. Now the situation will be monitored for three to four days. Jain said this when asked about the opposition of some traders to the odd-even arrangement of DDMA to open such shops.

drop in positivity rate

Delhi reported 28,867 corona cases on Thursday, which is the sharpest one-day spike since the start of the pandemic. After this the number came down to 24,383 on Friday, 20,718 on Saturday, 18,286 on Sunday, 12,527 on Monday and 11,684 on Tuesday. The positivity rate stood at 30.6 percent, the highest ever in the ongoing wave of the pandemic, falling to 27.9 percent on Sunday, 28 percent on Monday and 22.5 percent on Tuesday.

Fewer number of patients admitted to hospitals

Satyendra Jain said that the admissions of patients in hospitals have not increased since a week. We have prepared 37,000 covid beds, out of which only 15,600 beds have been used. Only 17 per cent beds are occupied, so we are not releasing more beds.

Strict adherence to corona rules

Jain reiterated that the ongoing wave of the pandemic is at its peak. Although cases are decreasing in Delhi, but everything cannot be opened immediately. This will increase the risk going forward. He also said that everyone's corona test is being done. All the rules are being strictly followed. All the officials are following the guidelines issued by the Centre.
