A woman has alleged that her Covid-19-positive father was not admitted in time by a Delhi government hospital and died on Thursday, a charge denied by authorities of the facility.

The woman, Amarpreet, took to Twitter earlier in the day, saying, "My dad is having high fever. We need to shift him to hospital. I am standing outside LNJP Delhi & they are not taking him in. He is having corona, high fever and breathing problem. He won't survive without help. Pls help."

An hour later, she tweeted, "He is no more. The govt failed us."
