The number of Coronavirus cases has risen to 445 in Delhi but the situation is under control and there has been no community transmission, Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal said on Saturday.
There were 40 cases of local transmission while a majority of other patients either had foreign travel history or were recently evacuated from Nizamuddin Markaz, he said.
Sharing the data, he said 59 new cases came in last 24 hours in the national Capital. Among all the patients who have Coronavirus, around 11 are in ICU and five are on ventilators.
“We can say that this is local transmission and not community transmission,” he said.
In community transmission, people do not get to know from whom they are getting infected but right now no such case has occurred in Delhi, he said, adding the situation is under control.
“We have found 2,300 people from the Markaz. Among these people, 500 are admitted to various hospitals and around 1,800 are in quarantine. We are testing all the people which means the number of COVID-19 positive cases in Delhi will increase,” he said.
He said that till now Delhi has witnessed six deaths due to Coronavirus. “Among these six people, five were above 60 and one person was 36 years old. Among these six people, three were from Markaz,” he said.
