Sisodia said that the Delhi government opposed yesterday's decision by LG Anil Baijal to end home isolation. There was no decision on this either. There will be discussed again in the evening. Earlier, in the meeting of Delhi Disaster Management Authority, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal strongly opposed the order given on quarantine of LG Anil Baijal.

Lt. Governor Anil Baijal has ordered that if any corona is positive in Delhi, then it will be mandatory to go to Quarantine Center for at least 5 days.

Kejriwal asked why different rules have been made for Delhi, moving away from the whole country. According to sources, Kejriwal opposed the LG order on these points.

1. When ICMR allows Home Isolation to Corona Patients with No Symptoms and Mild Symptoms all over the country, why different rules in Delhi?

2. Most corona positive patients are mildly symptomatic / without symptoms, from where will they arrange for quarantine?

3. Railways have provided isolation coaches, but how will anyone stay inside it in such heat?

4. Should our priority be for serious patients or for those without symptoms and mild symptoms?

5. There is already a shortage of medical staff, now from where will the doctor nurses come to the Quarantine Center for thousands of patients?
