Delhi Lieutenant Governor Anil Baijal has tested positive for COVID-19. He tweeted that he had isolated himself at home. "I have tested positive for COVID with mild symptoms. Have isolated myself since the onset of symptoms and all those who were in contact with me have been tested. Will continue to function and monitor the situation in Delhi from my residence," Mr Baijal wrote.
Mr Baijal has held several meetings over the past few days to discuss the Covid situation in Delhi. Before announcing a lockdown in Delhi on April 19, Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal had met with the Lieutenant Governor. "Praying for your speedy recovery and good health, sir," tweeted Mr Kejriwal. The second wave of Covid-19 is raging in the Capital, leaving the national Capital’s healthcare system overburdened. The national Capital has been recording over 25,000 cases for the past few days and a positivity rate of around 30℅. Experts have said that the positivity rate must be less than 5℅ in order to contain the infection.
