OUR CORRESPONDENT
NEW DELHI: The Capital on Tuesday reported 23 COVID-19 fatalities in 24 hours, the highest since June 16 last year, and the positivity rate rose to 25.65 percent even as Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal said that the spread of the virus was seemingly slowing down.
According to data shared by the health department, 21,259 cases were reported on Tuesday, the highest single-day infection since May 1. Significantly, 93 Covid patients have died in Delhi in the first 11 days of January.
Noting that it is difficult to predict when the third wave of infections will peak, Kejriwal said, “I hope that this trend (of spread slowing down) will continue for the near future and the COVID spread comes down. At present, barely 1,500-2,000 hospital beds have been occupied by COVID patients and the rest are in home isolation.”
