City adds 290 new COVID-19 cases, 1 death
With the Capital reporting 290 new COVID-19 cases on Sunday, sources in the Chief Minister’s office said a night curfew between 11 p.m. and 5 a.m. will be announced on Monday. The city also recorded one death.
The positivity rate rose to 0.55% after 52,947 tests were conducted in the last 24-hours. The positivity rate needs to stay above 0.5% for two consecutive days for a yellow alert to be sounded that kicks in the first level of the Graded Response Action Plan (GRAP).
On July 9, the Delhi Disaster Management Authority had approved the GRAP for the Capital with four levels of colour-coded alerts according to the prevailing number of cases so that there is no confusion over imposing lockdowns and lifting restrictions. For the first level — yellow alert — the positivity rate needs to be more than 0.5% for two consecutive days for the restrictions to kick in automatically.
