Delhi was one of the earliest hot spots in India's COVID-19 outbreak and is the only territory in the country that has reported three different waves of the outbreak. No fresh COVID-19 death over 24 hours is a major relief for Delhiites.
“Today, no death has been reported due to Covid infections. Delhi’s collective will is gradually winning over the infection. I congratulate the people of Delhi for taking proper precautions and our health care and frontline workers who have fought this battle tooth and nail,” said Delhi health minister Satyendar Jain.
Notably, Delhi received the highest vaccine shots on Tuesday around 12,717 healthcare and front-line workers were vaccinated in the city. The number of beneficiaries was 69.1% of the daily target of 18,400.
The last time the city witnessed zero COVID-19 death was on May 11, 2020.
