The website also lists all COVID-19 Testing Centers (CTCs) set up by the Delhi government, private centres, as well as information on how to avail COVID-19 testing.

A list and location of all ration shops in Delhi, temporary relief centres and hunger relief centres is also available on the website. In the "e-pass section", any person can apply for travel e-pass or e-coupon for ration through this website.

It also updates important data related to COVID-19 in Delhi, including the total number of cases, number of new cases reported on a day, number of recovered patients and the number of deaths reported on a day.
