A mosque at Green Park area in Delhi has been converted into a temporary Covid-19 quarantine centre amid the aggressive surge of coronavirus infections in India's capital, reports BSS.
“We’ve turned our mosque into a quarantine centre with 10 beds in view of rise of Covid-19 cases as hospitals are struggling with huge surge of patients,” the report quoted Mohammad Salim, joint secretary of Green Park Mosque Managing Committee.
He said the quarantine centre is equipped with 10 beds and medical facilities while the patients would be provided masks, sanitizers and medicines.
“We’ve also arranged medicines, mask, sanitizers and PPE kits for patients along with providing them foods. Unfortunately, we don’t have oxyzen supply but will try to get it as soon as possible,” Salim added.
