Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Wednesday addressed the media over coronavirus outbreak and said that the administration is concerned about the situation. “There is no need to panic,” he said.
The chief minister stated that a task force has been formed under his leadership which will include all concerned stakeholders.
“Have asked task force members to deal with coronavirus situation as an emergency,” he said.
The Aam Aadmi Party chief also said that a coronavirus testing lab will be set up at Lady Hardinge Hospital in the national capital and also at LNJP Hospital, if necessary.
He said that the authorities have identified 88 people who came in contact with the Delhi man who tested positive for coronavirus and all of them will be screened for the infection.
Kejriwal briefed the media on coronavirus shortly after Union Health Minister Harsh Vardhan announced that India will now screen passengers from all countries.
