New Delhi: Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal has said that the Delhi government would increase the number of COVID-19 tests to 1 lakh per day from the existing 6,000 a day. Additionally, 750 intensive care unit (ICU) beds would become available at the Defence Research and Development Organisation complex (DRDO) for the benefit of Delhi citizens.These decisions have been arrived at during a high-level meeting chaired by Union home minister, Amit Shah, and attended by Kejriwal and senior officials from the Union home ministry and Delhi government. The meeting has been convened in the wake of a huge spike in the number of COVID-19 cases in Delhi in the recent past, with the rise in pollution levels.Speaking to media after the meeting, Kejriwal said that the Centre would help the Delhi government in procuring BiPAP machines to increase the number of ICU at Delhi government facilities.This is the second time that Shah has convened such a meeting to address the spike in COVID-19 cases in Delhi. He had chaired a series of meetings in June and July when the city witnessed a major spike in its Covid-19 cases.On Saturday, Delhi logged 7,340 new cases of the disease and 96 related deaths, taking its Covid-19 tally to 482,170 including 7,519 deaths. The number of recovered and active cases, meanwhile, stand at 430,195 and 44,456 respectively, as the Delhi government.Stubble burning and the general rise in pollution levels during Diwali are being projected as the major reasons for a sudden rise in COVID-19 cases in the national capital, after the city had largely witnessed a dip in the number of daily cases.
