Delhi HC seeks city govt.'s stand on providing medical staff, infra for JNU COVID-19 centre
The Hindu
On May 13, the court had directed that a COVID-19 care centre be set up at JNU for immediate isolation of residents testing positive for coronavirus as the number of infections on the campus was "quite high".
The Delhi High Court has sought the city government's stand on providing infrastructure and medical staff for a proposed COVID-19 care centre at Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU).
The counsel for the JNU Teachers' Association and others, who have filed a petition on the availability of medical facilities on the campus to deal with COVID-19, said that though the university administration has earmarked space in the Sabarmati Dormitory for setting up a COVID-19 centre, doctors and requisite infrastructure are not available.
Justice Rekha Palli granted time to the Delhi government's counsel to obtain instructions on assigning staff and providing other facilities to JNU's COVID-19 centre and listed the case for further hearing to January 13, 2022.
