Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal has announced that the national capital registered more than 13,500 coronavirus cases in the last 24 hours, the highest ever single-day spike since the onset of the pandemic early last year.<\/p>\n
The new figure comes as city has continued to witness an unabated resurgence of new cases in the last few weeks.<\/p>\n
According to the Delhi government, last time highest daily spike was 8,500 registered on November 11, 2020.<\/p>\n
“Delhi has fought against three waves of Covid-19 in the last one year but this fourth wave is more critical. I would appeal to all citizens to follow Covid protocols. I would also request private hospitals to cooperate with the Delhi government in this emergency situation and to increase their bed capacity for Covid-19 patients,” the Chief Minister said while addressing a press conference.<\/p>\n
On Monday, Delhi reported 11,491 new cases, while there were 10,774 fresh infections on Sunday, the first time the city’s daily tally crossed the 10,000 mark.<\/p>\n
On April 9, a total of 8,521 new cases were reported.<\/p>\n
Yesterday, the Delhi government said that over 5,000 beds have been increased in all government-run hospitals.<\/p>\n
The government has converted at least 14 big private hospitals into Covid-19 facilities and the hospital authorities have been directed not to admit non-covid patients.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
