Chances of 3rd wave quite real, Delhi govt preparing on war-footing: CM Arvind Kejriwal

The Delhi government is preparing on war footing to combat the chances of a third wave of Coronavirus.

Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Saturday cautioned that the chances of the third wave of the COVID-19 pandemic were quite real, while he asserted that his government was preparing on a "war-footing" to combat it. Indications are coming from the UK about the fear of the third wave. Cases are rising there, despite 45 per cent of vaccinations. So, we cannot afford to sit idle, he said. Kejriwal was speaking at an online event during which he jointly inaugurated 22 new PSA oxygen plants at nine hospitals across Delhi.
