Very few tests are being done in Delhi. We got information about the plight of patients from media reports. They have to live with the dead body. Facility like oxygen is not available. People are running around on the patient while the beds are empty in the government hospital.

The court asked the Delhi government why the Corona investigation has been reduced. While hearing the case, Justice Ajit Prakash Shah has said that the corpses are being kept in a disorderly manner, what is happening? They have reprimanded the Delhi government for this.
