Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia

The Delhi Government said on Saturday that beds for Covid-19 patients in private hospitals will be subsidised.

"100 per cent Covid beds in private hospitals shall be subsidised up to upper limit of 60 per cent of total hospital capacity," Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia said in a tweet.

केंद्र की समिति ने प्राइवेट अस्पतालों में 60% कोविड बेड्ज़ कम रेट पर सलाह दी थी. उससे बहुत कम बेड्ज़ कम दाम पर उपलब्ध हो रहे थे. अब 100% बेड्ज़ कम दाम पर उपलब्ध रहेंगे.

Besides this, he also thanked Delhi Lieutenant Governor Anil Baijal for withdrawing his order pertaining to five-day complusory institutional quarantine.

The Lieutenant Governor had on Friday ordered five-day mandatory institutional quarantine for every Covid-19 patient under home isolation.

With the Centre stepping in to aid the Delhi government in its fight against coronavirus, a difference of opinion was brewing between the L-G and the AAP government.

A day later, the L-G withdrew the order and said, "Regarding institutional isolation, only those Covid positive cases which do not require hospitalisation on clinical assessment and do not have adequate facilities for home isolation would be required to undergo institutional isolation."

Sisodia added that under the leadership of Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, "people will never have any problem."

होम आइसोलेशन को लेकर एलजी साहब की जो भी आशंकाएँ थीं वो SDMA की बैठक में सुलझा ली गई और अब होम आइसोलेशन की व्यवस्था जारी रहेगी. हम इसके लिए एलजी साहब का आभार व्यक्त करते हैं. हमारे मुख्यमंत्री केजरीवाल जी के नेतृत्व में दिल्ली वालों को कोई तकलीफ़ नहीं होने देंगे.

"After putting a halt on home isolation, L-G, in its order yesterday, also stopped the work of the company which was counseling the patients at home. Now this facility will continue till Monday and other options will be then discussed," Sisodia added.

होम आइसोलेशन रोकने के बाद एलजी साहब ने अपने कल के आदेश में घर पर मरीज़ों को काउन्सलिंग देने वाली कम्पनी का काम भी रोक दिया था. अभी यह सुविधा सोमवार तक जारी रहेगी और इसके अन्य विकल्पों पर हेल्थ डिपार्टमेंट की तैयारियों के साथ सोमवार को पुनः चर्चा होगी.
