NEW DELHI
Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal on Wednesday said that the Lieutenant Governor's orders overruling his government's decisions on coronavirus will be implemented as "this is not the time for disagreements and politics".
He also said that Delhi will need 1.5 lakh beds by July 31 once people start coming from other states for COVID-19 treatment and declared that the Lieutenant Governor's orders overruling his government's decisions on coronavirus will be implemented as "this is not the time for disagreements and politics".
Addressing an online media briefing, he said his government has "unprecedented challenges" ahead as data shows that COVID-19 cases will rapidly increase in Delhi, but asserted that around 1,900 patients got beds in hospitals in the last eight days and 4,200beds were still available, a claim that comes amidst reports of acute shortage of beds in healthcare facilities in the national capital.
Kejriwal went into self-isolation on Sunday after he developed sore throat and fever. His COVID-19 test is negative.
