Community transmission has taken place in Delhi: Kejriwal government admits

New delhi date. 09 June 2020, Tuesday

Amid rising cases of corona virus, the Delhi government has acknowledged that community transmission has taken place in Delhi. On Tuesday, Health Minister Satyendra Jain said about 50 per cent of the cases in Delhi were coming from sources whose whereabouts were not known. "When you find people who aren't getting information about the source of the transition, it's called a community spread," he said. Now this is nothing. There are many people whose source is not known where they got the disease from. But regarding his announcement, he said that this would be taken into account only when the central government also acknowledges that there has been a community spread in Delhi.

The health minister said, 'There are 4 stages within epidomology. The third stage is the community spread. Community spreads are called when a person cannot get information about where the infection came from and there are many cases where there is not a single case. About half of the cases are coming from people who do not know where they got the infection from.

"On Monday, AIIMS director Randeep Guleria also spoke about community transmission but the central government is not officially acknowledging it," he said. It will be considered official only when the central government agrees.

The community spread was discussed at a meeting with the Disaster Management Authority chaired by Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia on Tuesday. The meeting will review whether there has been a community spread in Delhi. In this meeting, if it is believed that community transmission has taken place, what is the strategy of the government, he said, "If the government agrees, ask." It doesn't matter if you are sick. If they declare you sick, they will know when you are sick. '

He said the government is still ready to fight the situation but the problem has arisen since the Delhi Hospital, which is his order. He said, "If it is announced in the meeting, then its protocol will be announced. Community spreads focus primarily on treatment. Now suppose a patient is positive for corona, 50 people in his contact are 100 people, now out of 50 or 100 people, only two are sick, now pay attention to those two and treat him. '
