Mr. Harsh K Sharma emphasized the urgent need for a clear and coherent COVID-19 management policy in Delhi. He stated that only those who genuinely require hospitalization should be admitted, and a simple, easily understandable policy must be implemented for the general public. Highlighting the fatigue among doctors and frustration among patients, he stressed the need for a standardized approach to COVID testing and sampling. He also pointed out that lawyers should file PILs only in cases where statutory institutions have clearly failed in their duties. Calling for immediate action, he recommended single-line, actionable policies and an increase in COVID testing across the city. Additionally, he strongly opposed the spraying or fumigation of disinfectants in public areas, citing WHO guidelines which state that such practices are not only ineffective but also pose risks of eye irritation, respiratory issues, and other health hazards.
