Covid cases in Delhi have sort of stabilised and are likely to taper down in the coming days, Health Minister Saurabh Bharadwaj said on Friday. Talking to PTI, he also said that most of the coronavirus-related deaths recorded in the national capital in recent times have been caused by co-morbidities, and Covid was incidental.

Delhi on Thursday logged 1,603 COVID-19 cases with a positivity rate of 26.75 per cent along with three fatalities, according to data shared by the city health department here. With the new fatalities, the death toll in the city due to the coronavirus pandemic rose to 26,581.

Out of 7,976 Covid beds in the hospitals of Delhi, 390 are occupied, the health department data showed. A day earlier, the city reported six deaths along with 1,757 new cases with a positivity rate of 28.63 per cent.

Bharadwaj said, "Covid cases have sort of stabilised. Recently, it was being said that the cases were showing an upward trend. Now, it is likely to taper down in the coming days."

Asked about the fatalities being reported regularly in Delhi due to the viral disease, he said, "In most of these cases, patients had serious illnesses for a long time and Covid was incidental. But, any death is unfortunate, and it should not happen".

Asked if any special arrangements are being considered for schools and children in view of the Covid cases, the minister said, no such step was being planned as of now.

"We are telling teachers that if students have cough and cold, those children should be advised to take rest. We will appeal to parents to not send their children to school if they have such symptoms," he said.

On the Delhi government's preparedness to fight the Covid pandemic, Bharadwaj said, "We have all our arrangements in place, including Covid beds, oxygen beds, ICU beds, oxygen supply and others."

Later interacting with reporters, the Delhi health minister said Covid wave is fading and will end in the next few weeks.

"We analyse every fatality and most of them happening due to comoribidities. A healthy person has not developed serious illness due to this variant," he claimed, adding those with comoribidities should take precautions and avoid going to crowded places.

“Can see th e manager of the @TheOfficialSBI responding but yet wish @DFS_India and @TheOfficialSBI take cognisance of this and act humanely. Are they no bank Mitra?” Sitharaman tweeted.

As soon as the minister reacted to the video, the bank immediately took cognisance of the incident. The State Bank of India, a series of tweets, replied, "Madam, we are equally pained to see this video. Smt Surya Harijan in the video used to withdraw her old age pension from the CSP point situated in her village every month. Due to old age, her finger prints were not matching at the CSP point".

"She visited our Jharigaon Branch with her relative. Our Branch Manager immediately paid the amount by manually debiting her account. Our Branch Manger has also communicated that her pension will be delivered to her doorstop from next month. We have also decided to handover a wheelchair to Smt Surya Harijan", the bank added.

Ever since the video was shared by news agency ANI, it has gone viral on social media. In the video, the frail woman, Surya Harijan, can be seen walking barefoot during the day with the support of a broken chair. The video was reportedly taken from Jharigaon block of Nabrangpur district of Odisha on April 17.

ANI reported that Harijan was denied the pension as her thumb was not matching with the records and was forced to return home.

"Her fingers are broken, so she is facing trouble withdrawing money. She has been given ₹3,000 manually from the bank. We will resolve the problem soon," the SBI manager of the Jharigaon branch had said earlier.

Harijan belongs to a very poor family and lives with her younger son's family. Her elder son works s a migrant labourer in a different state, while her younger son grazes other people's cattle. The family has no land to plough and lives in a hut.
