Delhi Government has withdrawn its order mandating all nursing homes in the city with bed strength between 10 and 49 as COVID-19 nursing homes. The city government had on Saturday declared all nursing homes in Delhi having bed capacity of 10 to 49 as Covid nursing homes. Delhi government had also asked all such nursing homes to make their Covid beds functional within three days of the issue of order. Only standalone exclusives Eye Centres, ENT Centers, Dialysis Centres, Maternity Homes and IVF Centres had been exempted as per the earlier order.
Delhi government had taken this decision to avoid intermingling of Covid and Non Covid patients in small and medium multispecialty nursing homes and to increase the bed capacity for Covid-19 patients. Cases of coronavirus are increasing in Delhi in a rapid manner.
