Delhi Covid lockdown news live: City reports 1,550 fresh cases in last 24 hours, lowest daily spike in 55 days
The capital on Monday recorded 1,550 fresh Covid-19 cases — the lowest in 55 days. The positivity rate, which had dipped to 2.42% on Sunday, rose slightly to 2.52% on Monday. After remaining below the 200-mark for the past couple of days, the number of Covid fatalities was 207 in the past 24 hours. The vaccination drive at 35 centres in north Delhi, including hospitals like Hindu Rao, Mrs Girdhar Lal Maternity and Rajan Babu, has been put on hold allegedly due to lack of supply of Covaxin from Delhi government. In areas under South Delhi Municipal Corporation (SDMC), Covaxin was available at select places for people aged above 45 who had done prior registration. There are 21 centres where people aged between 18-44 are being inoculated. Stay with TOI for more updates:Read Less

No bail to man held for black marketing O2 concentrators
A man arrested for alleged black marketing of oxygen concentrators in the city by selling one such machine for over a lakh has been refused bail by a sessions court. It noted that Delhi High Court-appointed high-powered committee had kept all those accused of black marketing and hoarding of Covid-19 resources outside the purview of bail. “Because illegal hoarding and black marketing of the said life-saving drugs and medical equipment are affecting the public at large... The allegations against the applicant/accused are serious in nature,” said the order passed by additional sessions judge Jagdish Kumar.
