CAN’T BE IN PERMANENT LOCKDOWN’: DELHI CM KEJRIWAL MESSAGES PEOPLE
The application is expected to reduce the spread of disease as the people will not be required to go around and search for vacant beds in hospitals. This will save time and will bring medical efficiency in medical care which is expected to lower down the death rate. The Chief Minister further said that it will be disconcerting and problematic if people have to go out of their homes to search for the availability of beds and other facilities in hospitals. If the facilities such as beds, ventilators, oxygen cylinders or health infrastructure are not adequately available can lead to a rise in death rate.
