New Delhi : The Delhi government on Sunday said that the six-day lockdown, which was imposed last week, will continue in the national capital till next Monday. Making the annoucement, Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal said that the situation in Delhi is worrisome, adding that the a lot of deliberation was done before extending the lockdown for another week.
“During the lockdown we saw that the infection rate has gone up to nearly 36 per cent… till date, we have not seen such an infection rate in Delhi. It has come down in the last two days, on Sunday it is nearly 29 per cent,” Kejriwal said.
However, Kejriwal’s decision to extend the lockdown has upset tipplers in the national capital as liquor stores would continue to stay shut across Delhi till next Monday. Notably, scores of people had gathered outside liquor stores last week flouting appropriate COVID-19 behaviour after the Delhi government imposed a six-day lockdown.
