Delhi Records 299 Covid-19 Cases In 24 Hours

50% Rise since the previous day!

The National Capital is again witnessing a furious scenario for Covid-19. The cases of Covid-19 led infections in the city are rising. On Wednesday, Delhi reported 299 cases with a Positivity rate touching 2.49 percent in the city. 

Delhi had reported 304 cases on March 4 after which a swift decline was seen. In total, over the past two days, the city has recorded 501 new cases, with the active case count rising to 814. 

As per the government officials, however, with an increase in active cases, this number is also set to rise. “As cases will increase, a small percentage of people will also get admitted to hospitals. We are hoping that this number will be low like it was in January when the rate of hospitalization dropped drastically as compared to the second wave,” said a senior Delhi government official.

Delhi has seen the worst scenario due to Covid-19. The situation went so horrific that the cases were out of control and that led to insufficient beds, a lack of hospitals, scarcity of medicine and medical equipment including oxygen cylinders, and many other instruments.

The Delhi Disaster Management Authority had earlier this month lifted all Covid restrictions, including the Rs500 fine for not wearing masks in public. Meanwhile, some schools in Ghaziabad and Noida reported Covid infections among students and teachers. 

Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal reportedly said that there is no reason to worry about the slight uptick in Covid cases. The government was monitoring the scenario as of now and will take the necessary steps if any untoward situation arises.
