Kejriwal said that 208 patients were in hospital including one on the ventilator, adding that he was worried by two things. “First, is corona spreading among common people? Second, how many people have died till now?”
Kejriwal said that the data suggested that coronavirus was not spreading, adding that people rescued from Nizamuddin were serious. “2,346 people were taken from Markaz. Of them, 1810 were taken to quarantine and 536 to hospitals. We’re testing all 2,346 for coronavirus. Our data for Delhi may shoot up in the next two-three days after their reports come.”
Earlier, Kejriwal had joined Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s video conference with all chief ministers.
