New Delhi, Jan 21: Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal on Friday has sent a recommendation to Lieutenant Governor Anil Baijal seeking an end to the weekend curfew restrictions, a day after state Health Minister Satyendar Jain claimed that the third wave of the Covid-19 pandemic has peaked in the national capital and the threat is waning.
In his proposal, Kejriwal also calls for the removal of the odd-even arrangement in marketplaces, as well as allowing private workplaces to run at 50% capacity.
“That spike which Delhi saw can be considered as the peak of the Covid wave and it seems that we are past the peak now…. The number of daily cases has come down in the last few days. Over 13,000 cases were recorded yesterday with a positivity rate of close to 24 per cent. And today, the number of cases is lesser than that,” he said on Thrusday.
According to data released by the state health department, the national capital had 12,306 new Covid-19 cases and 43 more fatalities on Thursday, with the test positivity rate lowering to 21.48 percent.
