“If a hospital refuses to provide you bed even when our app shows beds are available in that hospital, then you can call on 1031. Our Special Secretary will take an action immediately and contact the hospital authorities to provide you bed on the spot,” Kejriwal said.
Kejriwal said that the administration is prepared and has made sufficient arrangements to tackle the rise in severe Covid-19 cases in the national capital.
