Massive spike in daily Covid cases after Delhi, Mumbai see record jump

| @indiablooms | Dec 29, 2021, at 06:08 am

New Delhi/IBNS: India witnessed a massive spike in Covid-19 cases with Mumbai and Delhi registering a 70 percent and 50 percent jump over a 24-hour period. 

The financial capital reported 1,377 cases while the national capital recorded 496.

The cities recorded one death each.

Mumbai's big surge came after a marginal drop in numbers. On Monday, the city recorded 809 new cases, which is 113 less than Sunday and three deaths.

The spike rate has been very high in Mumbai, with cases registering a 188 per cent  high in three weeks starting Dec 8.

In Delhi, the 50 percent jump was reported hours after the city imposed a series of strict restrictions under the "Yellow Alert".

Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Tuesday asked people in the national capital not to stir out of their homes without a face mask amid rising cases of Covid-19, failing which he warned that markets will be shut in the city.

At the same time, Kejriwal told the media that people need not unduly worry as most Covid cases detected now were mild and symptomatic.

But people need to be cautious, he underlined.

"In most cases, there is no need to go to the hospital," he said, speaking about the present situation in Delhi.

The Chief Minister said the Delhi government was 10 times ready to fight Covid. But it was important that the people wear face masks whenever they step out, he said.
