New Delhi: Delhi will have a fully-functional makeshift a 10,000-bed facility for COVID-19 patients by this month-end. To come up at Chhatarpur in South Delhi, it will receive paramilitary assistance and doctors and health professionals from other states, reported Economic Times (E).

The structure is a multi-bed facility under a metal tent at the Radha Soami Satsang Beas campus. It will be the biggest facility of its kind, a senior official was quoted as saying in ET. It will be 1,700 feet long and 700 feet wide with 200 enclosures having 50 beds each, the official added.

“According to an estimate, we would need 400 doctors and 800 paramedical professionals. We are exploring options to recruit them from the open market. A building next to the facility will house the professionals coming from other states. We are also approaching state governments to see what they can do,” an official said.
It may be noted that Delhi’s health department has projected that COVID-19 cases could rise to 1 lakh by the month-end and exceed the 5-lakh-mark by July-end.
