New Delhi, May 26
With the national capital breaching the 100-mark of Covid infections, Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta on Monday assured people that the government is closely monitoring the cases.
Asking people not to panic, she stated that guidelines have been issued to all hospitals.
"Guidelines have been issued to all hospitals, and the government is closely monitoring the situation," Gupta told reporters here.
She added that the state hospitals are equipped with all the facilities to tackle the cases.
According to data from the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, Delhi has 104 cases.
"We have analysed the scenario and there is no panic situation," said CM Gupta.
Last week, the Delhi government issued an advisory on the Covid-19 disease, asking hospitals in the national capital to ensure the availability of beds, oxygen, medicines, and vaccines.
All health institutions have been asked to send all positive Covid-19 samples for genome sequencing to Lok Nayak Hospital.
"The hospitals must ensure preparedness in terms of availability of beds, oxygen, antibiotics, other drugs and vaccines. All equipment, such as ventilators, Bi-PAP, oxygen concentrators, and PSAs, must be in functional condition," the advisory stated.
