At present, only about 10 percent patients are admitted in the hospital- Jain

Amidst the increasing number of corona patients, there is also a fear in the minds of people that they may not have to roam here and there due to lack of beds in hospitals like last time. Allaying this concern of the people, Delhi Health Minister Satyendar Jain said that at present only about 10 percent patients are admitted in the hospital, 90 percent beds are lying vacant. Satyendra Jain said that active patients are about 40 thousand now, when there were so many active cases last time, there were 6-7 times more admissions in hospitals than now, but now the admission is very less, because of the current wave of severity. Quite low. Very mild symptoms are seen in the patients.

On the possible data to be released in the Health Bulletin today, Satyendra Jain said that the data is being compiled right now. Today around 20 thousand cases can come and the infection rate can be more than 1-2 percent compared to yesterday.

Health works engaged in the treatment of corona patients have also started turning positive. On this, Satyendra Jain said that about 1000 health care workers in Delhi are still positive. Satyendra Jain said that when the corona is spreading so much, the employees of the hospitals can also be positive, but right now it cannot be called an alarming situation. There are lakhs of health care workers in Delhi, if 1000 of them are positive then it is not a matter of much concern. The Delhi government has made preparations on a large scale. Compared to other diseases, there is a normal corona protocol in the hospital regarding the treatment of corona, during which very less staff is required.

DDMA meeting has been called on Monday, can a decision be taken on imposing more restrictions?

Satyendra Jain told that there is a DDMA meeting on Monday, whatever decision will be taken there, it can be told only after the meeting. There is no need to speculate about the ban. We have put a lot of restrictions. Weekend curfew is starting now. It has been good for the last two-three days that people are following the Kovid rules very well. A large number of people are wearing masks. Satyendra Jain said that another form of lock down is also to apply face mask, lock the face. If 100 percent people wear masks, then it will give more benefit than lockdown.

How dangerous is this wave from last time?

On this, Satyendra Jain said that there is a big difference between the wave of last time and this time. Last time when 17 thousand cases came, then admission in hospitals was 2.5 thousand, now admission is 200-300. Much less than before. Among those who are admitted, there are many patients who came to the hospital for treatment of other diseases and became positive.

Despite the weekend curfew, people are stepping out?

On the weekend curfew, Satyendra Jain said that only people associated with essential services have been given exemption in the weekend curfew. People connected with services like electricity, water can come out. Apart from this, if someone has to go to get his corona test done, then he can also go. Satyendra Jain told that we are doing about one lakh tests daily in Delhi, such people will not only leave the house, along with one lakh such people, one lakh people will also go with them, so these people are about two lakh. .

Has any Omicron positive died?

On this, Satyendra Jain said that no one who was found to be Omicron positive in genome sequencing has died so far. Right now we are not doing genome sequencing test of all the cases, it was being done when 100-200 cases were coming. Its purpose was to find out whether Omicron has come to India or not, now it is known that Omicron is there.

1.41 lakh cases have come across the country today, how far can this number go?

On the rapidly increasing cases, Satyendra Jain said that the numbers will increase only when the test is more. In Delhi, we are doing about one lakh tests every day. That’s why Delhi’s number seems more. According to the population, no one else is doing as many tests as are being done in Delhi. We only pray that the peak comes in two to four days and after that the cases start decreasing.
