Kejriwal said that the number of ICU beds in Delhi is limited and the oxygen-rich ICU beds are decreasing very rapidly.
He said COVID-19 cases were rising sharply and the government will take necessary steps to prevent the spread of the virus. The Chief Minister said he has spoken to Union Health Minister Harsh Vardhan for increasing availability of beds and increasing oxygen supply.
“I hope that we add 6,000 beds in two or three days. No one knows when the peak will come. The central government gave 4,100 beds in November but this time only 1,800 beds have been given. I requested Dr Harsh Vardhan to reserve 50 per cent beds for COVID-19 patients,” he added
