Amid an acute shortage of medical oxygen in the national capital, the Delhi government has set up a portal on its official website to streamline the distribution of oxygen to COVID-19 patients in home isolation, non-Covid-19 hospitals, nursing homes and ambulances.

According to the official release, those requiring oxygen for home isolation can apply with a valid photo id, Aadhar card details, Covid-19 positive report and other documents like CT scan report if available on the Delhi government website -- delhi.gov.in. "From 06 05 2021, all persons/individuals requiring oxygen for home isolation patients will apply on delhi.gov.in/ with a valid photo id, Aadhar card details, Covid-19 positive report and other documents (CT Scan report, etc. if available) indicating the actual need for oxygen," it said.
