LG's guidelines on home isolation will 'seriously harm' city: Delhi govt

The Delhi government on Friday said the new guidelines on home isolation of Covid-19 patients issued by the Lt Governor was an "arbitrary decision" and will "seriously harm" the national capital.

In a statement, it also pointed out that Delhi already has a "serious shortage" of doctors and nurses to provide care for Covid-19 patients and asked where the extra manpower would come from.

"We have been completely supportive of the Central government in our collective fight against coronavirus, but this arbitrary decision will seriously harm Delhi," it said.

The Delhi government urged that the decision should be reconsidered.
