When Delhi had 30,000 active coronavirus cases the last time, 1,000 patients were on ventilator support as compared to 24 now, said the health minister.
Delhi has reported six times lower hospital admissions due to the coronavirus this time as compared to the first wave of the pandemic, city Health Minister Satyendar Jain said on Friday.
He also said construction workers need not worry as construction work will go on.
With a surge in the number of COVID-19 cases in Delhi and its neighbouring cities, migrant workers and daily wagers fear that another round of lockdown will push them into a severe financial crisis from which they might never recover.
The city government has already announced weekend and night curfews, among other restrictions to check crowding, as the city is witnessing a record rise in the number of Covid cases, months after the second wave of the pandemic overburdened the health system and led to a lockdown, leaving many jobless.
