New Delhi: The close eye is stored on the spread of Omicron variants and the Delhi government is fully prepared to handle up to one lakh case every day in the worst case scenario.
This was said by the Chairman of the Minister of Arvind Kejriwal after leading a review meeting about the Covid-19 Delhi situation on Thursday.
“Everyone is very concerned about the omicron variant.
It is reported as a very transmitting variant throughout the world.
The two main characteristics of this variant are lightweight, with less hospitalization and victims.
We have taken precautions in the light of this consideration,” Kejriwal said.
During the second Covid-19 wave, the capital witnessed the summit of 26,000-27,000 cases a day.
“This time we are preparing even one case of lakh per day.
When the variant intensity is very light, we want to beg everyone to live in house isolation and not in a hurry to the hospital except your symptoms are severe,” CM said.
Mention that because the new variant can spread rapidly, Kejriwal said Delhi Detention Infrastructure was being strengthened, including increasing testing capacity.
“The current tariff is around 60,000-70,000 tests per day, but we can do up to 3 lakh tests, if necessary.
We strengthen the house isolation model to an unprecedented level.
Until now, the capacity of our home visit is around 1,000 cases a day.
We now increase it into one lakh case a day, “he added.
Kejriwal said as soon as someone was tested positive for Covid-19, they would get a call from the government and the team would visit their home and give them kits with all the necessary items, including oximeter.
“Since then, the doctor will advise them every day until they recover.
The institution needed to be expelled for this arrangement will be used in a few days,” he added.
Adequate health workers are prepared, regardless of stock buffer drugs for two months.
“The main problem during the second wave is related to oxygen.
Even when Delhi is being given oxygen, it cannot be transported due to lack of trucks because we never need such infrastructure.
We now bring 15 trucks that will be able to transport oxygen.
These trucks will arrive In three weeks, “Kejriwal said.
“We believe that Delhi will not face a very strong wave and hopefully the situation will not be severe.
The last serological survey shows that 95% of Delhies have antibodies to novel Coronavirus and 99% of people who are eligible for vaccination have received at least one dose vaccine.
More than 70% fully vaccinated.
In the case of other waves come, it is expected that the impact will be mild.
But if the situation becomes terrible, Delhies does not need to worry, “CM said.
The Delhi government, in a statement, said about 37,000 covid beds and 10,594 ICU beds had been prepared on the command of the minister’s chairman.
If the infection spreads, the plan has been made for 100 oxygen beds to be established in every city ward within two weeks, which means 65,000 total beds.
Ready to handle the 1L case a day, Delhi CM said
