The Chief Minister of Delhi Arvind Kejriwal has announced yellow alert in delhi amid rising cases of Covid-19. He said that Graded Response Action Plan (GRAP) was made to control the Covid-19 situation. According to this plan, if positivity rate remains 0.5% for two consecutive days then yellow alert is need to be implemented in the capital.
For two or three days, positivity rate is 0.5% in delhi that’s why yellow alert is implemented. He further said that Cases are rising but no need to panic because most of the cases are asymptomatic or mild symptoms. There is no need for oxygen, ventilators and ICUs.
Delhi is ten times more prepared if any worst condition arises but our main motive is to control Covid-19 and don’t let it spread. There is need to follow Covid-19 norms like wearing mask, social distancing and washing hands on regular basis.
CM said that avoid going into crowds and wear mask while going outside otherwise complete lockdown will be the option which is not good for us.
