Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Wednesday said the COVID-19 situation in the national capital is better than in June, but the war against the disease has not been won yet. Addressing an online media briefing, he said, “The COVID-19 situation in Delhi is under control but we do not have to be complacent. We will continue our preparations.”

He said his government’s first principle of combating the disease is that the COVID-19 fight cannot be won alone, that is why, the AAP dispensation sought cooperation from everyone, be it the Centre, hotels and other organisations.
