Delhi on Wednesday reported 13,785 new Covid-19 cases, 16,580 recoveries and 35 deaths. With an active caseload of 75,282, the positivity rate stood at 5.11 per cent on Wednesday.
However, the tally stood at over 2,000 cases compared to what was recorded in Delhi on Tuesday.
Jain had said on Wednesday that the positivity rate in the city is not low enough to lift the restrictions imposed to contain the spread of the infection.
Delhi had recorded 28,867 Covid-19 cases last Thursday, the sharpest one-day spike since the start of the pandemic. After this the number came down to 24,383 on Friday, 20,718 on Saturday, 18,286 on Sunday, 12,527 on Monday and 11,684 on Tuesday.
Despite the spike being recorded in the national capital last week, the minister had said that there have been no daily hospitalizations for a week.
Jain reiterated that the ongoing wave of the pandemic is peaking and declining in Delhi. “We hope its descent is as fast as its rise. Let’s wait for a few more days,” he said.
