Delhi government has directed capital’s premier Taj Man Singh hotel to isolate all their rooms and place them at the disposal of Sir Gangaram Hospital with immediate effect for accommodating Coved 19 patients.
The decision of the government follows efforts to hike capital’s capacity to treat coronavirus patients that is expected to rise to 5.5 lakh mark by the end of July and it comes on a day when the Delhi High Court allowed Delhi government to use premises of two other premium hotels in the city as temporary Coved-19 treatment facilities.
An expert committee of doctors on Monday told the high court that it was both advisable and infrastructurally feasible to use hotel Surya and hotel Crowne Plaza as extended Covid-19 treatment centres. AIIMS Director Randeep Guleria and V K Paul, Member of the Niti Aayog also submitted a report to the court on the matter.
