Many people are speculating whether another lockdown in Delhi is being planned. There are no such plans: Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal
There are “no plans” for another lockdown in Delhi, Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal tweeted today, rejecting speculation alongside a spurt in coronavirus cases in the capital. Mr Kejriwal put out the clarification shortly after an all-party meeting called by Home Minister Amit Shah to discuss the virus strategy for Delhi and its neighbouring areas.
No Delhi lockdown is being planned, says CM Arvind Kejriwal amid rise in Covid-19 cases.
On Friday, Maharashtra, severely dented by the raging coronavirus crisis, quashed speculations about a fresh lockdown following a spike in infections in the state with chief minister Uddhav Thackeray clarifying that no such decision has been made.
He appealed to the people to strictly follow existing Covid-19-related restrictions to keep the spread of the Coronavirus in check.
The first nationwide lockdown was imposed on March 25 to stem the spread of the disease and since then it has been done four times. Presently, the lockdown is only in containment zones till June 30.
Delhi has more than 41,000 COVID-19 cases and is the third worst hit in the country. There have been over 1,300 deaths in the city.
