Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal has requested all states to provide medical oxygen and oxygen cylinders to the national capital. Hospitals in Delhi are turning back Covid-19 patients owing to the shortage of medical oxygen.

Responding to the Delhi government's statements, Union Health Minister Dr Harsh Vardhan told media outlets on Saturday, "Delhi has been allotted more than the quota [oxygen] they had asked for, and Delhi CM even thanked the PM for that yesterday. Now, to rationalise the quota in a timely manner and the responsibility to finely plan it lies with the state government."
