Delhi reported 923 coronavirus cases on Wednesday, a surge of 86%, the highest level since May 30. There were no related deaths in the city within 24 hours.
In the past week, the number of cases in the capital has gradually increased, and the positive rate has now risen to 1.29%.
The day after the Delhi government imposed a series of new restrictions in response to the yellow alert, there was a huge increase-when the Covid positive rate remained at 0.5% for two consecutive days, the sound was heard. Under the yellow alert, schools, colleges, educational institutions, movie theaters, gyms and spas have been closed, while shops and malls are allowed to operate in odd and even form. The Delhi Metro currently operates at 50% of its seat capacity, and a curfew between 10pm and 5am is in place.
Yesterday, Delhi recorded 496 new cases, which was the largest single-day peak of infections in six months. In the past 24 hours, Delhi has recorded 73 Omicron cases, bringing the total to 238.
The data shows that the average daily rate of increase for Covid this time is nearly 21% faster than during the second wave from March to April. The 7-day moving average showed that the number of cases soared from 56 to 199. Today’s data may further push this ratio further north. The Delhi Disaster Management Authority decided at a meeting today not to impose any new restrictions on the country. Taking into account the global outbreak of the highly contagious variant of Omicron, the number of coronavirus cases has steadily increased.
The “yellow alert” that determines the Gradation Response Action Plan (GRAP) will last for a period of time. After monitoring the hospital’s bed occupancy rate, a decision on further restrictions will be made at the next DDMA meeting.
The DDMA virtual review meeting was chaired by Deputy Governor Anil Baijal, and Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and several experts attended the meeting.
