Due to surge in COVID-19 cases in the national capital, Delhi government has increased coronavirus testing and around 85,000-90,000 tests are being conducted every day.
"There were fewer cases earlier but it has increased now.
So we have increased the number of testings and conducting 85,000-90,000 tests every day, which is more than 5% of the national average.
We are also doing contact tracing and isolation.
Hospitals have a sufficient number of beds as of now.
The occupancy is around 20% now, 80% of the beds are unoccupied.
We are monitoring this, if occupancy increases, we will increase the number of beds," said Satyendar Jain.
