Coronavirus rates in India are still on the rise. The relaxation of restrictions can lead to an increase in the number of patients. There are many virus-affected areas, especially in Delhi. Therefore, it is best to extend the lockdown, said Dr Kapoor, the head of the Delhi government’s Kovid Defense Committee. SK Sarin said it was a good idea.
Given the Chinese experience, the graph starts to come down about 10 weeks after the onset of the disease. Accordingly, the graph of the disease is expected to start dropping by mid-May in Delhi. If so, the lockdown should be extended till May 16, he said.
Currently there are 2,625 cases of Covid patients in Delhi. 54 people have died due to the virus.
