COVID-19: Delhi government extends lockdown by a week

New Delhi; Delhi government on Saturday extended COVID-19 related lockdown by a week.

"Lockdown in Delhi is being extended by one week," Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal tweeted.

Delhi has been witnessing a massive surge in cases in recent times.

In a grim picture, India on Saturday reported over four lakh daily cases for the first time while registering over 3,500 deaths apparently due to the virus in the last 24 hours.

The hospital beds swamped with patients, people unable to get Oxygen supplies, crematoriums overburdened, pyres burning round the clock and parking lots converted into crematoriums are the usual, worrisome pictures, which can be captured across the country including the national capital Delhi presently.
