No prior Covid-19 test required to admit pregnant women for delivery, surgery: AAP govt to HC
The AAP government on Wednesday told the Delhi High Court that prior Covid-19 test was not mandatory for admitting pregnant women in hospitals for in-patient interventions, including surgery and deliveries, and in emergent situations, treatment would not be denied for want of test results. The test can be conducted simultaneously with the treatment and if the result come out to be positive, the pregnant woman would ideally be transferred to a dedicated Covid-19 hospital for further management, the Delhi government told the high court.
