Delhi government has extended the lockdown for a week amid the covid surge. Chief Minister and Aam Aadmi Party chief Arvin Kejriwal has announced that the lockdown has been by one week. A week ago on April 26, the CM had pushed the lockdown by a week saying the severity of COVID-19 persists and the positivity rate has been as high as 36 per cent in the last few days.
The Chief Minister said the onslaught of coronavirus has not subsided even as the government had imposed six days lockdown as a last weapon in its arsenal.
“Everybody voted for extension of lockdown. The positivity rate reached up to 36-37 percent in past few days although it has slightly dipped now. It is around 29 percent today,” he said. To keep watch on oxygen availability, the Delhi government has decided that the manufacturers, suppliers and hospitals will update supply and consumption data every two hours on a portal set up by it.
