Delhi on Tuesday reported 28,395 new Covid-19 cases, the highest single-day spike since the outbreak of the pandemic last year, while the test positivity rate rose to 32.82 percent, according to the health bulletin issued by the Delhi government. As of now, Delhi has as many as 85,575 active cases of which 40,124 are in home isolation.

The single-day death toll in Delhi had breached the three-figure mark for the first time in 2021 on April 14 (104), after reporting 81 deaths the day before. Since then, the death toll has been steadily increasing, shattering all previous records.

According to Delhi government data, on April 15, the city reported 112 Covid related deaths, 141 on April 16, 167 on April 17 and 161 on April 18. Covid-19 patients are struggling to find a bed in the government hospitals and the situation is worse for those seeking beds with ventilator support.

A woman at the LNJP hospital, whose husband is admitted there since Saturday, said, “It has been more than 12 hours, but I have no information about my husband. Usually, there is a facility to connect video calls, but since last night, no one is responding. I come here every day carrying food for my husband.

Though the number of general beds in Delhi has been increased, Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia told the press on Monday that out of the 1,449 ICU beds available with ventilators, only seven were vacant. Out of the 3,146 ICU beds without ventilators, 3,123 were occupied and only 23 were vacant.

The Delhi government’s Corona App stated that (till 8:30 pm on Tuesday), several big and Covid dedicated government hospitals did not have even a single ICU bed with ventilator support for Covid patients.

The list (hospital name – total beds – vacant beds with ventilator support, in that order):

The Rajiv Gandhi Super Specialty Hospital — 250 — 0

AIIMS — 71 — 4

Safdarjung — 65 — 0

Sardar Patel Hospital — 50 — 0

Deen Dayal Upadhyay — 34 — 0

Baba Saheb Ambedkar Hospital — 30 — 0

Ram Manohar Lohiya — 28 — 1

Sir Ganga Ram Hospital — 90 — 0
