Delhi records highest Covid deaths in single day with 395 fatalities
New Delhi/IBNS: Delhi on Thursday once again reported the highest ever fatalities due to Covid-19 in a single day with 395 deaths.
The national capital reported 24,235 Covid cases during the same period.
The positivity rate or the chances of infection spreading is currently 33 per cent, and the active cases are at 97,977.
The spike in daily fatalities has put intense pressure on crematoriums across the city.
The Delhi Police has asked the municipal body to find more sites to be used as crematoriums amid the crisis.
Hospitals across Delhi continue to struggle with oxygen dearths and shortage of beds.
Meanwhile, the Delhi government has said that it has run out of vaccine doses and is waiting for fresh supplies from the manufacturers.
State Health Minister Satyendar Jain said: "We don't have vaccines as of now. We have made requests to the company regarding vaccines, we will tell you when it comes."
Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Monday said those above 18 would get vaccines for free in Delhi.
