In the first week of June, Delhi started witnessing a rising number of cases and increasing deaths leading to panic among residents. Yet, a month later, each of these appears to have plateaued.
An analysis of the data suggests that the decline in active Covid-19 cases is likely due to a new test, Antigen, that the Delhi Govt introduced on June 18. But have the Coronavirus cases actually decreased in the national capital?
The city government has revised its 'Covid Response Plan' and said it will now screen people in high-risk groups (HRGs) for coronavirus through house-to-house surveys in containment zones, buffer zones and areas with isolated cases.
