COVID-19: Come With Solution Regarding Nursing Homes Order - High Court To Delhi

The court said such government order could lead to existing COVID-19 patients being discharged and new ones being turned away.
The Delhi High Court on Wednesday asked the Delhi government to come up with a solution to the "embargo" created by its order to nursing homes to treat COVID-19 patients only on their ground and first floors. The court said such government order could lead to existing COVID-19 patients being discharged and new ones being turned away. A bench of Justices Vipin Sanghi and Rekha Palli said if someone had started a nursing home during the pandemic by flouting the building norms, then an action under the Delhi government's April 30 order would have made sense. However, the bench said if nursing homes which were in operation much before the pandemic, and maybe in violation of the building norms, were being asked now to treat COVID-19 patients only on the ground and first floors, "that is not fair".More Related News
