NDTV
Delhi reported 20,181 yesterday - an increase of 16 per cent. Daily new cases are also creeping closer to the single-day record of 26,169 set on April 23, during the peak of the second wave
There will be no Covid lockdown in Delhi if people follow protocol - wear face masks in public and maintain social distancing - Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal said Sunday, as the national capital scrambles to contain a frightening surge in new cases over the past few days.
"No need to panic... be responsible. We don't want to enforce a lockdown right now... we want to keep curbs as limited as possible, so the common man is not affected. Tomorrow there is a DDMA (Delhi Disaster Management Agency) meeting, and we will review the situation again," he said.
The Chief Minister also urged people to get double vaccinated as soon as possible.
Mr Kejriwal also announced that he had recovered after a bout of Covid infection picked up while campaigning for next month's Uttarakhand election. "I am back at your service after recovering from Corona," he said, adding that he had self-isolated at home after having a two-day fever.
