Delhi has logged over 6.24 lakh cases of coronavirus so far.
No public gatherings will be allowed in Delhi tonight and tomorrow between 11 PM and 6 AM as the state government has announced a night curfew to restrict the New Year celebrations. The centre yesterday had asked the states to consider a series of restrictions and tone down the New Year celebrations after 20 cases of new mutant coronavirus strain were reported across the country.
The new strain, first detected in the United Kingdom in September, is believed to be significantly more infectious.
On Tuesday, Chief Minster Arvind Kejriwal had said the city is prepared to deal with the new mutant strain of coronavirus. "At one point, 8,500 corona cases were coming to Delhi every day, which was the highest in the world. But the Delhi people controlled the corona," the Chief Minister said.
