Schools won't open till govt sure about safety: Arvind Kejriwal
Delhi chief minister Arvind KejriwalNEW DELHI: Chief minister Arvind Kejriwal said on Saturday that Delhi government would not open schools unless it was convinced about the safety of students. At the Independence Day function organised at Delhi Secretariat, Kejriwal said the Covid situation was under control and thanked all, including the Centre, corona warriors and different agencies and people, for together making it possible.
From next week, the government will start sending oxygen concentrators to homes of the patients whose oxygen levels drop to lower levels even after recovery, Kejriwal announced. From next month, the AAP government will launch a two-and-a-half-month campaign against dengue.
Kejriwal devoted the large part of his 22 minutes speech to Covid fight and the 'Delhi model' besides revival of economy and hailed corona warriors who helped people during the pandemic by risking their lives. Seven corona warriors representing their community were present at the function, which was shifted to the Secretariat from Chhatrasal Stadium in view of the current situation.
The CM also remembered soldiers who lost their lives on the borders while protecting the country.
"In June, many people were leaving Delhi because of coronavirus spread and many were afraid of coming to Delhi. But in a few weeks, two crore people of Delhi have controlled the situation with their resolve, hard work and dedication. We have a long way to go, we have not won the battle but we are in a much better position now," Kejriwal said adding the Delhi model is now being discussed all over the country, and has become a case study across the world. Kejriwal said the capital fought Covid-19 with a scientific approach and came up with various new initiatives.
