Since asymptomatic patients prefer home isolation, only 321 beds in seven hotels have been reserved as self-paid isolation facilities and 65 beds in two hotels as government-paid facility. In an order issued by Amit Khatri, deputy commissioner on Tuesday, 71 hotels have been de-notified as isolation facilities. Since June 13 beds in these hotels were reserved for Covid-19 patients who do not have enough space for home isolation. Similarly, 943 beds were reserved under government paid isolation facilities. Government paid facility is available in only two hotels – Hotel New Destination (Rajiv Chowk) and Hotel Imperial (Atul Kataria Chowk).
