This interview comes to you from The Centre for Innovation in Public Policy (www.cipp.in), a think-and-do tank that brings together government, regulators, civil society, businesses, and solutions builders to accomplish improved citizen-centred policy outcomes. Anil Vij is the health and home minister of Haryana. Hence he holds two crucial portfolios. He has decided to delegate the acquisition and conversion of schools, hotels and private hospitals into #Covid facilities in cities like Gurgaon and Faridabad.  The situation in the state is deteriorating rapidly with patients rising rapidly and health infrastructure unable to cope up. Patients are already rushing into the state from Delhi, Punjab and Himachal Pradesh as some of its cities have a better health infrastructure. Delhi's health infrastructure is already overwhelmed.  The situation is going to get worse before it gets better.
