In
a recent development, the state government has reversed orders that had limited
the scope of coronavirus testing.
The Government also reserved hospital beds for city residents as the Indian capital’s caseload continues to surge. The city's numbers of infected jumped to 29,943 till today, out of India’s 266,598 cases, the fifth-most in the world. Since the incumbent Delhi Chief Minister, Arvind Kejriwal came into power in 2013, he had prioritized investing in healthcare and education, besides other important issues. The country capital has the best health care in India, drawing patients from across the nation. But since the lockdown restrictions have eased, the number of people infected with the coronavirus has soared in the capital. On Sunday, Kejriwal announced that hospital beds for COVID-19 patients would be reserved for city residents and testing limited to those with symptoms.
Taking a serious note of the situation,
the union government however came forward decided to offer health care
facilities to all the citizens. Meanwhile, Prime Minister, Narendra Modi,
strongly objected to the rules. Consequently, PM Modi, on Monday late evening
set all the Kejriwal’s order aside and twitted Kejriwal that “making
arrangements for treatment for people from across the country during the
Covid-19 pandemic is a major challenge. But maybe it’s God’s will that we have
to serve everyone in the country”.
