Delhi Lockdown Extension Latest Update: As the coronavirus cases are declining slowly across the national capital, the Kejriwal government is expected to give more relaxation in the next phase of unlocking. However, reports suggest that the Delhi Chief Minister will hold a crucial meet with the officials of the Delhi Disaster Management Authority ( DDMA)  on Saturday where he may make a major announcement regarding the same.

The Kejriwal government has unlocked the national capital in two phases so far and has extended the lockdown till June 14. CM Kejriwal had on June 1 announced Unlock 1 under which he permitted construction activities and factories to resume, keeping in mind the condition of labourers and migrant workers. Then in Unlock 2, the markets and offices were opened last week. Along with this, Delhi Metro also started operation at 50% capacity.

If reports are to be believed, more relaxations are likely to be announced along with the reopening of bars, gyms, salons and cinema halls in Unlock-3. The wedding ceremonies in public places may also remain prohibited under the Delhi Unlock 3.0. However, no official word regarding what activities will be allowed have been made by the authorities.
