New Delhi: Delhi has been witnessing an unprecedented spike in the COVID cases in the last few weeks, forcing chief minister Arvind Kejriwal to impose some stern restrictions to contain the spread of the virus. Arvind Kejriwal on Thursday addressed a press conference where he announced a weekend curfew in the national capital. Arvind Kejriwal said that gyms, spas and malls across the city will remain closed while cinema halls will operate at 30% capacity throughout the week. Essential services will remain functional and people going for weddings will be issued curfew passes, the chief minister said during a digital press briefing.
The Delhi government issued an order to augment the number of beds reserved for COVID-19 patients at its hospitals and attach banquet halls and hotels to these facilities, amid a massive surge in cases in the city. Reeling under a fourth wave of the virus, the national capital on Wednesday recorded its highest daily spike of 17,282 new cases of the disease. The city also reported 104 fresh fatalities. Delhi is now the worst-affected city in the country.
