Delhi prepared to handle coronavirus: Arvind Kejriwal

Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal addressed the media in the capital today, taking stock of the situation in the city after the first case of coronavirus was unearthed this week.

Kejriwal listed out his government's plan to deal with the coronavirus, pointing out that over one lakh people had been screened for the virus.

Meanwhile, 19 hospitals in the city are being prepped to handle the influx of infected patients, and isolation wards have been set up.
