NEW DELHI: No patient in home isolation in the Capital had succumbed to COVID-19 in the first week of July, according to a study by the Delhi government, which was presented to Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal in a review meeting he chaired on Friday to discuss the mortality rate in Delhi. At the meeting, top officials were informed that the death rate here had reduced from 3.64 per cent in June to 3.02 per cent as of the first week of July.
“We are looking into death numbers reported from each hospital because there are no deaths reported from home isolation in July. We will study the ratio between COVID-19 patients being discharged and Coronavirus deaths in each hospital and the hospital with a lower ratio would mean it has better management by staff,” said an official from the Health Department of the Delhi government. The CM has asked for the ratio of deaths to the total number of patients discharged from each hospital.
