Coronavirus | Night curfew imposed in Delhi as people were organising parties, gatherings: Satyendar Jain

Mr. Jain's remarks on the pandemic situation came a day after the Delhi government imposed a night curfew in the national capital from 10 p.m. to 5 a.m.

Delhi Health Minister Satyendar Jain on Wednesday said night curfew was imposed in the national capital following reports that parties and social gatherings were being organised in various parts of the city at a time when cases have surged. Interacting with reporters, he also feared that if the positivity rate escalated and safety norms were not followed by people, the new cases could breach the last single-day spike record registered in November last year. However, he added that it will be too early to speculate on that as of now, and government efforts are to contain the incidences as effectively as possible.
