The Delhi government called it an “arbitrary” decision

Press Trust of India
Five-day institutional-quarantine has been made mandatory for every Covid-19 patient under home-quarantine in Delhi, Lt Governor Anil Baijal ordered on Friday.

He also ordered discontinuation “with immediate effect” of the services of a private agency that was making telephonic contact with home-quarantined individuals to guide them. However, at least four district magistrates said there is no clarity as yet on whether the order on institutional-quarantine also covers existing home-quarantined patients. They said a clarity might come on Saturday during a high-level meeting of the Delhi Disaster Management Authority, to be chaired by the LG.
