Delhi Covid lockdown live: 7 more deaths in Noida, Ghaziabad
Covid cases are declining across all the 11 districts of Delhi but in some districts the positivity rate continues to remain higher than the others. All the districts witnessed a sudden and sharp surge during the last fortnight of April and in the first week of May, but, like the rise, the decline too has been very sudden and fast. The Delhi high court on Monday said political leaders have no business to hoard stocks of Covid medicines that are already in shortage and they are expected to surrender these drugs. On Monday, 4,524 new Covid patients were added to Delhi’s record, the lowest since April 5 and also the first time the figure has dipped below the 5,000-mark since that day. The number of deaths reported in the just the first half of this month accounts for almost half the overall Covid death toll, both in Noida and Ghaziabad. Of the 392 deaths reported in Noida since March last year, 180 were added between May 1 and 16. With just enough vaccine doses left to last till Thursday and the central government unable to provide any this month, vaccination of those in the 18-44 age group might come to a halt in Delhi, deputy chief minister Manish Sisodia said.
