Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal has sought a detailed report from the Delhi government’s health secretary on factors responsible for Covid-19 deaths in the city in the last fortnight, officials said on Wednesday.

The Health Secretary has to submit detailed analysis on the factors responsible behind deaths and further measures to further reduce the death rate, officials said.

Officials said the report on Covid-related deaths in Delhi would aid the implementation of more stringent measures to reduce deaths. It, they said, will also help mitigate the other causes that have added to the casualties, such as co-morbidities, age, and health condition. This will ascertain the cause of the deaths, a government spokesperson said.
