Delhi lockdown New Delhi/IBNS: The lockdown in Delhi has been extended again by another week and the process of unlocking will be initiated if Covid cases continue to drop, Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal announced on Sunday.
For now, the lockdown will be in place till 5 am on May 31.
Kejriwal also mentioned that the process of unlocking will be slow as people need to be cautious.
"Right now, our priority is to ensure vaccination for people in the shortest possible time," the Chief Minister said.
"We have made all arrangements in Delhi so that within three months, everyone should get vaccinated, but there is lack of vaccines," he said, adding that if everyone can be vaccinated in time, "we may escape the third wave of Covid".
Delhi, which was one of the worst-Covid-affected regions in the country during the second wave, made headlines as its health infrastructure went overwhelmed with the massive spike in positive cases with several patients dying due to shortage of Oxygen.
