There has been a decline in the number of daily cases in Delhi after touching a record high of 28,867 on January 13. The city had recorded a positivity rate of 30.6 per cent on January 14, the highest during the third wave of the pandemic.
Amid a drop in daily cases, the number of patients under home isolation has dropped significantly in the past few weeks. The rise in COVID cases in Delhi during the third wave of the pandemic was largely due to the omicron version of the virus, which is highly transmitted.
