In a unique initiative, residents of New Saraswati CGHS housing society in Rohini have converted a recreation centre into a six-bed quarantine facility in view of the rising number of coronavirus cases in the city.
The facility inaugurated by local BJP MLA Vijender Gupta comprises six beds in a fully equipped hall.
The recreation centre was earlier used for various community activities.
Keeping in mind the COVID-19 situation in Delhi, the residents decided to convert it into a quarantine facility, Gupta said.
The national capital recorded 2,134 fresh coronavirus cases on Saturday, taking the COVID-19 tally in the city closer to the 39,000-mark and the death count due to the disease to 1,271, authorities said.
