Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Monday felicitated a 57-year-old man who was the 1000th person to be discharged from a dedicated COVID-19 facility of the city government, officials said. The man (name withheld), a resident of Uttam Nagar, was discharged from the Rajiv Gandhi Super Speciality Hospital (RGSSH) on July 3 along with his wife who had also contracted COVID-19. "CM Kejriwal felicitated our 1000th patient to mark the milestone, and the recovered patient's wife was also present on the occasion," Director RGSSH, Dr B L Sherwal said.
The chief minister also inaugurated the expanded ICU facility. "The number of ICU beds for coronavirus patients has now been expanded from 45 to 200," he said.
Besides, Kejriwal via video-conferencing facility, also exhorted COVID-19 patients who are recovering at the RGSSH to donate plasma once they fully recover, Sherwal said. RGSSH was one of the first government-run facilities to have been converted to a dedicated COVID-19 hospital.
Health Minister Satyendar Jain was last month admitted first at RGSSH for undergoing treatment for COVID-19.
