Coronavirus in Delhi LIVE Updates: Delhi govt says discontinuation of home quarantine
will harm Delhi, asks LG to reconsider decision
The Delhi government has said that it has been completely supportive of Central government’s
collective fight against coronavirus, but orders to discontinue home quarantine is arbitrary and
will seriously harm Delhi. The central government must re-consider this decision. Home
isolation has been one of the most successful initiatives in the battle against COVID-19. Delhi
treated thousands of mild and asymptomatic cases at home through daily monitoring and
counselling and home isolation protocol is being carried out strictly as per ICMR guidelines.
Home isolation encouraged people with minor symptoms to come out and test. People
preferred home isolation as they knew they will not be taken to a hospital or quarantine centre
forcibly.

Coronavirus in Delhi LIVE Updates: Mandatory 5-day institutional-quarantine for each

COVID-19 case under home-quarantine, says LG
Five-day institutional-quarantine has been made mandatory for every COVID-19 patient under
home-quarantine in Delhi, Lt Governor Anil Baijal ordered on Friday. In his order, the LG said
that after the five-day institutional-quarantine, asymptomatic COVID-19 patients will be sent for
home-isolation. "Five days institutional quarantine of each case under home-quarantine is to
be made mandatory and, thereafter, (they) will be sent for home-isolation, except in cases
where symptoms require further hospitalization," Baijal said in his order. However, a Delhi
government official said that the decision will only serve to scare away people from getting
tested. According to the government, there are around 8,500 COVID-19 patients in home
isolation in Delhi, who are asymptomatic or have mild symptoms.
