Only 231 of the 7,945 beds in the city’s dedicated Covid hospitals are occupied, it said.
Speaking to reporters on the sidelines of the Ambedkar Jayanti event at the Vidhan Sabha, Kejriwal said, “We are taking care of the increasing number of corona cases.
The cases are not serious and people are not requiring hospitalisation. “If needed, then appropriate steps will be taken.”
