The Delhi government is keeping an eye on the spurt in Covid cases in the national capital and is prepared to face any eventuality, Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal said on Friday.
Only three deaths have been reported over the last four-five days. In all three patients, co-morbidities were very severe and it has been assessed that the fatality was due to co-morbidities and perhaps Covid was incidental, but one can’t say that, he had said.

Delhi has witnessed an increase in the number of fresh Covid cases over the last few days amid a sharp rise in the figure of H3N2 influenza cases in the country.
The number of fresh cases had seen a decline over the last few months in Delhi, and it had dropped to zero on January 16, the first time since the outbreak of the pandemic here.
