New Delhi November 25 Amid a surge in coronavirus cases and deaths as many as 2000 normal and 1300 ICU beds have been added in hospitals of Delhi in the past two weeks for COVID-19 patients an official said on Wednesday. The official said Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal has been monitoring the situation and added that all efforts are being made by the Delhi government to bring down the mortality rate. The death rate stood at 1.89 per cent on Tuesday. The National Capital recorded over 100 COVID-19 deaths for the fifth consecutive day on Tuesday.

He also said that there are currently 9000 normal beds and over 1000 ICU beds available for coronavirus patients in the national capital. During a COVID-19 review meeting convened by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday Kejriwal had requested the PM to reserve 1000 ICU beds for Delhiites in Centre-run hospitals like AIIMS and Safdarjung Hospital. Kejriwal had said if the central government reserves these ICU beds in its hospitals in the city for the people of Delhi amid a surge in coronavirus case "it will be a great support to us". At the meeting the chief minister had underlined that the high severity of the third wave of COVID-19 cases in the national capital is due to many factors with pollution being a significant one. He said Delhi saw the peak of 8600 coronavirus infections on November 10 during the third wave and since then the number of cases as well as the positivity rate are steadily decreasing. The chief minister hoped that this decreasing trend would continue in the national capital.
