"Delhi Has Crossed Peak Of Third Covid Wave, No Lockdown": Minister

Delhi will not be put under another lockdown in the wake of the third wave of COVID-19 since it has already peaked out, state Health Minister Satyendar Jain said today, dismissing all speculation. 'There is no chance of a lockdown,' Health Minister Satyendar Jain said today. 'I can tell you today that the peak of Delhi's third wave is gone,' Mr Jain said. When asked about markets being shut down, he said, 'It has not even been considered. The festival is over, the crowds will get thinner now on.' However, he said people ought to be cautious and wear masks. 'The lockdown was a learning exercise...What we learnt was that the gains from a lockdown were the same as those from wearing masks.' Delhi on Sunday recorded 3,235 new COVID-19 cases and 95 deaths due to coronavirus, state government data shows.
