New Delhi:Delhi might record 17,000 Covid cases with a positivity rate of nearly 17 per cent on Friday, according to Delhi Health Minister Satyendra Kumar Jain. The number of corona infections is increasing continuously in Delhi due to the arrival of more international flights, Jain added.
While addressing the media, the minister said, "This is the reason for implementing stricter measures to curb the spread of Covid-19. Some people were saying stricter measures were not needed but it is better to take precautions early after the spreading of virus."
He added, "However, it is 6 to 7 per cent less patient bed occupancy, compared to the previous Covid wave. Now, even if tested positive, only 7 days are required for home isolation. There is no need for retest as well."
Satyendra Jain also said that holidays of all health workers have been cancelled. "There is a need to be more careful about Corona. Be careful with at least a couple of months."
