The Delhi Health Minister said the total number of red zones in the national capital is 97
Delhi Health Minister Satyendra Jain on Monday took exception to Haryana Minister Anil Vij's statement where he called the people living in Haryana but working in the national capital as ''corona carriers.''
"It is not right to say so. Many people in Delhi work in the areas along the border of the national capital and vice versa," he told the reporters.
With regard to the Tablighi Jamaat people -- who recovered from COVID-19 -- donating blood, Mr Jain said, "Blood has no colour. Any person can donate blood. The mistake of the Markaz persons was at the Markaz only."
"All religions preach that we must do something to save other persons' lives. So no one should have a problem with that," Mr Jain added.
The Delhi Health Minister said the total number of red zones in the national capital is 97. "One of them has been converted into the green zone," he said.
Addressing the COVID-19 scenario in Delhi, Mr Jain said, "Till date, 2,918 cases have been reported in Delhi. 877 people have recovered. 42 people are in ICU, and 11 people are on the ventilator."
