As of now, according to the rule, any corona victim or corona suspect had to go to the corona care center set up by the government. After getting advice after that, he could do home isolation at his house.

  • LG Government v. LG on Home Isolation

  • LG withdrew decision in DDMA meeting

Corona has become uncontrollable in Delhi. Rajdhani is on its way to becoming a global hotspot. At the same time, the issue of home isolation between the Corona explosion remains in the headlines. However, on the issue of home isolation, Lieutenant Governor Anil Baijal has backed down from his decision twice. At the DDMA meeting on Thursday, LG withdrew its decision that Corona positive needed to go to the Kovid Center.

As of now, according to the rule, any corona victim or corona suspect was required to go to the Corona Care Center set up by the government. After getting advice after that, he could do home isolation at his house. On the instructions of the Center, the Lt. Governor implemented this rule from last Saturday (June 20).

At the same time, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia were continuously opposing this new rule. Manish Sisodia had also written a letter to Union Home Minister Amit Shah and asked to withdraw this rule.

Deputy CM Manish Sisodia said that there was chaos in Delhi. The person found corona positive either wants to stay home or wants to go to the hospital, but due to the order of LG Sahab, everyone wants to stay home. No one wants to go to a hospital or quarantine center.

Deputy CM Manish Sisodia said that there are two models today. One is Amit Shah’s model, in which all positive people have to go to Kovid Care Center. The second is Kejriwal ji’s model, in which the medical team comes to the house and sees that there is a need to go to the Quarantine Center or home isolation will work.

It will not be compulsory to go to Kovid Care Center

On this issue, the Delhi Disaster Management Authority (DDMA) met on Thursday. In this meeting, Lieutenant Governor Anil Baijal retreated from his old decision. Baijal withdrew his decision in which the patient had to go to the Corona Care Center. In such a situation, it will no longer be mandatory for Corona positive patients to go to Kovid Care Center in Delhi.

Amid controversy, new SOP of home isolation released

On 22 June, the Delhi government released a new Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) for the management of corona positive patients (especially those with home isolation). According to the new SOP, if the patient’s home is not found suitable for home isolation, then he will be admitted to the Covid Care Center. Apart from this, testing, followup, tracking were mentioned in SOP.

5 day government quarantine decision withdrawn

Earlier, Lieutenant Governor Anil Baijal ordered every corona suspect in the state to stay at the Government Quarantine Center for five days, which also caused a ruckus and later the decision was reversed. The Delhi government had also filed a petition in the High Court regarding this issue.

The Delhi government had said that if the home quarantine option would be scrapped, then people who have fewer symptoms of corona would also shy away from conducting their test. People taking this test will be discouraged.

Corona spread more in Delhi than Mumbai

More corona has spread in Delhi than Mumbai. In the capital, the number of corona patients has crossed 70 thousand. At the same time, 69528 cases have come in Mumbai. According to the data released on Wednesday, 3788 new cases were reported in Delhi in the last 24 hours and 64 patients died. At the same time, active cases are being told 26,588, while there are 14,844 people in home isolation. A total of 41,437 patients have recovered from Corona so far in Delhi.
