If so happens then the healthcare resources would come under strain yet again, he said..

Guleria told Indian Express that having more containment zones within a city would be a better strategy in containing the spread as some states mulled over imposing another lockdow Delhi has been witnessing over 1,500 daily cases over the past five days, with 995 cases reported on Wednesday. This has resulted in Delhi getting back in the top 10 of most cases.

“As of now, most of the patients who are coming in are those with relatively milder symptoms but that is related to the fact that currently we are witnessing a surge in cases in the younger age group.

We need to be vigilant about this,” he sai “There is an increase in the number of patients getting admitted but it’s not that we are running out of beds yet.
