According to the health department statement, the elderly patient who was fully vaccinated was on post-operative chemotherapy and had co-morbidities like pulmonary TB with squamous cell carcinoma of the buccal mucosa.

The Delhi government is alert and hospitals are ready, the Chief Minister told reporters at Lok Nayak Jai Prakash Hospital in the national capital.

“Nineteen patients are admitted to hospitals and the remaining are receiving treatment at their homes. But Covid-19 has not reached the point where people need to worry. The government is ready for every situation," Gupta said.

She also underlined the need for people to remain cautious.

Last week, the Delhi government issued an advisory to hospitals, asking them to ensure availability of beds, medicines and oxygen.
