Several Pvt Hospitals Stop Covid Services

Many of the small private hospitals which were offering around 10 beds for coronavirus patients have withdrawn their services. But their names continue on the Delhi Corona App showing zero occupancy.

In an earlier order by the Delhi government, private hospitals with more than 50 beds were told to allot 20 per cent of their capacity to Covid-19 wards. Many such small hospitals provided around 10 beds to corona positive patients.

This reporter called up some of these hospitals based on the app, which showed all beds out of the 10-12 hospitals allotted for coronavirus being available. Of these, many said they have shut services to admit the Covid-19 patients.
