The Delhi government issued the revised standard operating procedure (SOP) to hospitals required to handle dead bodies of covid-19 patients.

According to the order issued on Sunday night, a dead body brought to a hospital will not be tested for covid-19. This comes at a time when the Aam Aadmi Party-led government faces criticism for under-reporting of coronavirus-related deaths in the national capital.

According to the health bulletin shared on Monday, the total number of deaths in Delhi was at160, while over 10,000 people have tested positive so far.
