Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal has requested Central government to provide more ICU beds as there is very few left. “Around 25,000 COVID-19 cases reported in Delhi in last 24 hours. There are 10,000 beds in Delhi, including that of the central government of which, 1,800 beds currently reserved for COVID-19. I request Centre to allot 7,000 of 10,000 beds in view of severe COVID-19 cases,” Kejriwal said.

Kejriwal also added that the positivity rate has increased from 24% to 30% in the last 24 hours and less than 100 ICU beds are left. He also informed that there’s an oxygen shortage in Delhi.

“Spoke to Dr Harsh Vardhan yesterday and Amit Shah ji this morning regarding lack of beds & informed them that we’re in dire need”, he added.

Meanwhile, India appears to be setting a new record every day when it comes to the COVID-19 pandemic.
