The surge in coronavirus cases after lockdown has exceeded the government's expectation, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal said on Saturday. Speaking at a press briefing, Mr. Kejriwal detailed the five steps taken by the government to tackle the issue.

"Our first step to tackle the situation was increasing hospital beds on a war footing. There was a time in early June when beds weren’t available, but over the coming days Delhi will have 13,500 beds," said Mr. Kejriwal.

"The next focus is on testing and isolation of COVID-19 patients. The third step is to make Oximetres and Oxygen concentrators available. Next came plasma therapy, and survey and screening to locate patients," said the Delhi CM.
