Delhi’s Lieutenant Governor Anil Baijal on Friday ordered five day institutional quarantine for COVID-19 patients in the national capital. However, today his order has been withdrawn. News agency ANI quoted sources to report that the LG would roll back the compulsory 5-day institutional quarantine.
As per Baijal’s order all asymptomatic COVID-19 patients or those with mild symptoms would have had to mandatorily undergo a five-day institutional quarantine, following which they’d be sent for home isolation.
With Delhi having recorded a massive surge in positive cases recently, this would have put additional stress on the medical facilities available in the state.
