Delhi:
Delhi has yet again reported over 4,000 coronavirus cases in a day, sparking concerns of a fresh virus wave amid the festive season. Barring October 19, the national capital has been reporting over 3,000 cases daily for the last 10 days — a worrying sign, especially when COVID-19 levels have shown a drastic drop nationally.
The national capital on Friday reported 4,086 fresh cases and 26 deaths in 24 hours. After 3,296 recoveries in a day, the total of active cases reached at 26,001. The aggregate of cases in Delhi is now 3,48,404, out of which 3,16,214 people have recovered.
The last time Delhi crossed the 4,000-mark was about a month ago – on September 19. Three days prior to that, the national capital had reported its highest-ever daily figure of 4,473 cases.
On Thursday, Delhi reported 3,882 cases. A day before, its tally was 3,686, and on Wednesday, 3,579, showing a steady rise.
