The Delhi government on September 9 launched a new Covid 'WhatsApp Helpdesk Number' aimed to help people access credible information about the viral disease, locate nearest vaccination centres and book slots for receiving the jabs. Tele-consultation and information about oxygen cylinder refilling stations will also be available through the WhatsApp chatbot, according to a statement.
