Delhi Unlock 3.0: With the significant decline in COVID-19 cases, the Arvind Kejriwal-led Delhi government is expected to give more relaxation and allow the reopening of salons and weekly markets from Monday. From May 31, phased reopening of Delhi had started with the resumption of construction and manufacturing activities. Last week, markets and malls were allowed to open, on an odd-even basis. Moreover, the Delhi Metro also resumed services for the general public with a 50 per cent seating capacity. Addressing a presser last week, CM Kejriwal had stated that more activities would be allowed if the Covid situation continued to improve in the city. Since then the Covid situation has improved in the national capital with less number of infections and deaths reported by the Health bulletins of the Delhi government. On Saturday, Delhi reported 213 new Covid cases, the lowest since March 1 when 175 people were found Covid positive in the national capital.
