New Delhi:
Delhi’s positivity rate has dropped to 3.58 per cent, lowest since April 1, as the more contagious and dangerous wave of the coronavirus infections continued to recede. The national capital on Saturday logged 2,260 new Covid cases, lowest since March 31. At 182, even the single-day spike in deaths saw a major dip compared to the April levels.
“These are the lowest numbers after 31 March. Still need to take all precautions and follow Covid appropriate behaviour,” Delhi Health Minister Satyendra Jain said.
