On November 12, the division bench of the Delhi High Court vacated a stay imposed by a single-judge bench on the Delhi government’s order reserving 80 per cent ICU beds in 33 hospitals for COVID-19 patients. A single-judge bench had earlier stayed the Delhi government’s order while hearing a petition moved by the Association of Healthcare Providers India.
