CM Kejriwal Opposes Institutional Quarantine Order

Delhi Lieutanant Governor Anil Baijal on Friday suggested that every COVID-19 positive patient even if asymptomatic has to follow mandatory institutional quarantine for five days. 

The Delhi Government however is not in compliance with this order. Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal believes that stopping home isolation will discourage people from testing and further spread coronavirus as asymptomatic and mild symptom patients will resist testing and will not be quarantined. 

Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia also emphasised that currently over 10,000 patients are following home quarantine will the city has around 6,000 beds at quarantine centres. 

AAP MLA Raghav Chadha further added that if institutitonal quarantine becomes mandatory, the city will need around 90,000 beds.
