No need to panic; follow COVID guidelines: Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal

New Delhi: Delhi Government under the leadership of Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal is leaving no stone unturned in its fight against Covid. Staying true to the vision of a responsible and sensitive government, CM Arvind Kejriwal on Sunday presented every facet of the Covid situation related data. He drew parallels with the past to explain how the situation is very much under control as well.

CM Kejriwal stated that Omicron is a very very mild variant of Covid. Data shows how oxygen beds, ventilators are lying vacant even with a high spread in cases. The situation is not worth panicking over. We need to maintain caution. Please wear masks, follow social distancing and regularly wash hands with soap. 99.78% Covid Beds are vacant in Delhi hospitals but we are still making preparations for 37,000 beds to stay ahead of the virus.

Approximately 6,000 active cases have been recorded in Delhi right now but only 82 oxygen beds have been occupied. Most patients are recovering at home. The situation is significantly better than the second wave; back then 1,700 oxygen beds, 231 ventilators were occupied, today only 82 beds and 5 ventilators have been needed yet.
