The Centre
has been supporting States/UTs in their endeavours for combating the COVID-19
outbreak. The Central Government has extended substantial support to NCT of
Delhi for containment and management of COVID-19.
Indian
Council of Medical Research (ICMR) has supplied diagnostic material for
carrying out 4.7 lakh RT-PCR tests to the 12 functional labs in Delhi, till
date. It has also provided 1.57 lakh RNA extraction kits essential for
carrying out the test and 2.84 lakh VTMs (Viral Transport Medium) and swabs for
collection of Covid-19 samples. Looking at the sudden surge of cases, ICMR has
approved Antigen-based Rapid tests and supplied 50,000 such Antigen Rapid Test
Kits to Delhi Government for supporting COVID-19 containment efforts. ICMR has
provided all these test kits free of cost to Delhi.
National
Centre for Disease Control (NCDC), under Ministry of Health & Family
Welfare has supported the efforts of Delhi Government through technical
guidance on all aspects of COVID-19 Surveillance and Response Strategy. The
areas include identification and assessment of quarantine facilities and COVID
Care Centres (CCC) in the beginning of epidemic; orientation trainings and
technical support on surveillance, contact tracing and lab aspects including
infection prevention and control; data analysis and timely feedback to the
Delhi Government on the gaps identified and suggested solutions. NCDC has also
provided laboratory diagnostic support for processing of samples by RT-PCR
including trainings of lab professionals of Delhi Government.
Technical
support by NCDC included deployment of multiple Central Teams of experts for
situational analysis and subsequent recommendations accordingly;
deployment of public health experts to coordinate and provide technical inputs
to district level teams in implementation of revised Delhi COVID Response Plan;
and planning and execution of Sero-prevalence study on COVID 19 in Delhi. The
Revised Delhi COVID Response Plan has been prepared with the active support of
NCDC.
NCDC will
also conduct a Serological Survey across Delhi from 27th June 2020 to 10th July 2020. Blood samples
from 20,000 persons will be tested to ascertain the presence of anti-bodies.
As an
effort to bolster the containment measures in NCT of Delhi, a 10,000-bedded
“Sardar Patel COVID Care Centre” is being developed at Radha Soami Satsang Beas
in Chhatarpur, Delhi. The entire operation of this Centre, including ensuring
availability of requisite numbers of medical personnel, has been entrusted to
the Central Armed Police Forces (CAPFs), with Indo-Tibetan Border Police (ITBP)
taking the lead in this process. Around 2,000 beds are being made operational.
A 1000-
bedded new green field hospital construced by DRDO and manned by doctors and
paramedical staff from Army would start functioning next week from an area near
Dhaula Kuan. This new field hospital would have a referral relationship with
AIIMS, New Delhi. The hospital would be equipped with oxygen, ventilators
as well as an ICU.
The Government of India has
centrally procured and distributed 11.11 lakh N95 masks, 6.81 lakh PPE kits,
44.80 lakhs HCQ tablets in Delhi. 425 ventilators were allocated to Delhi and
all have been delivered to various hospitals of GNCT.
Delhi has 34 Dedicated COVID
Hospitals (DCH), 4 Dedicated COVID Health Centres (DCHC), 24 Dedicated COVID
Centers (DCCC) to treat COVID-19 patients according to their severity. Thus, a
total of 62 facilities in Delhi are engaged in treating COVID-19. The number of
these facilities is being increased on a daily basis.
Delhi Government has been
advised to conduct assessment in respect of every dead individual (from
COVID-19) as regards how many days before death the person was brought to
hospital and from where. A special focus has to be given about whether the
person was in home isolation and whether the person was brought to hospital at
the right time or not. Every death has to be reported in a timely manner to
Government of India. All hospitals have been given strict directions that there
should be no delays in handing over the dead bodies to their next of kin and
performing last rites of COVID-19 deceased patients.
