* PTI update at 9.20am: India registers record single-day spike of 9,887 Covid-19 cases and 294 deaths, pushing infection tally to 2,36,657, death toll to 6,642
*All malls, restaurants, hotels and places of worship in the capital — barring those in the containment zones — may reopen next week, with Delhi government likely to give relaxations from Monday as per a standard operating procedure (SOP) issued by the Union health ministry.
*The Delhi government has ordered hospitals to discharge all mild and asymptomatic patients of Covid-19 within 24 hours of admission and report them to district surveillance officers. It has warned that non-compliance will be viewed seriously and invite legal action without any notice. The order has been issued by state health secretary Padmini Singla.
*Terming some reports about the shortage of beds as "misleading", health minister Satyendar Jain on Friday said there was no shortage of Covid-19 beds in the capital.
*More than 7.5 lakh people in the capital have sent suggestions after chief minister sought the public’s response on whether Delhi borders should be opened and whether the beds in city hospitals should be reserved only for its residents. Delhi government will analyse the suggestions before taking a final call on whether to open borders to allow inflow of people from other states for medical treatment and other services.
*The capital has recorded 44 Covid-19 deaths in three days, from June 1 to 3. Of this, 25 deaths took place on June 3, 10 on June 2 and 9 on June 1. This has been revealed in the latest data shared by the government on Covid-19 situation in the state.
