On Monday, one Covid death was also recorded in Delhi.

According to experts, the Omicron variant is responsible for the majority of cases in Delhi. “According to genome sequencing findings from three laboratories on December 30-31, 81% of samples were infected with Omicron. The majority of the cases are of Omicron,” Satyender Jain, Delhi Health Minister, said.

According to Sources, the spike may result in further restrictions under the color-coded Graded Response Action Plan (GRAP). The Delhi Disaster Management Authority will make a decision today.

With the positivity rate above 5% for two days in a row, Delhi risks “red alert” restrictions such as a total curfew prohibiting essential services, the closure of non-essential stores, malls, and salons, and further limitations on public transportation, weddings, and funerals.

Since December 29, the capital has been on a “yellow alert.” Cinemas and gyms have been closed, and stores have been permitted on an odd-even basis. Metro trains and buses can only run at half their full capacity.

Mr Kejriwal has previously advised people not to worry in the wake of increasing cases, claiming that the issue is under control and that hospitalizations are low.
