NEW DELHI : As Covid-19 cases rise in national capital, the Delhi Government has increased the number of beds dedicated for Covid patients at two of its facilities.

This includes 80 percent escalation in its count at the LNJP Hospital, an official confirmed. The LNJP Hospital in Delhi already has 2,000 beds which is also the mainstay of the government's fight against the coronavirus pandemic.

LNJP Hospital was the first medical facility to be declared a Covid-19 facility soon after its outbreak here in early 2020. Delhi reported 1,485 fresh Covid-19 cases and zero fatality on Sunday, while the positivity rate was recorded at 4.89 per cent, according to data shared by the city health department.

The new cases pushed the coronavirus infection tally in Delhi to 18,84,560, while the death toll stood at 26,175. In a recent order, dated April 25, issued by the city health department, the number of Covid beds at LNJP Hospital has been stepped up to 450 from 250 earlier, while the number of ICU Covid beds has been increased to 178 from 100 previously.
