Infection still not subsiding

Kejriwal said that we had imposed a week-long lockdown, which was ending at 6 am tomorrow. This last weapon was against Corona, but the infection is still not decreasing. We talked to everyone and everyone said that lockdown should be imposed. The infection rate reached 36–37% during lockdown. It has decreased in 1-2 days and it has come down to 30. We pray to God that we may be liberated from the corona.

Oxygen deficiency persists

There has been a lot of oxygen problem for the last few days. It is lacking. We need 700 tonnes and the center has allotted 490 tonnes, but this oxygen is not coming to us either. It reached 330 tonnes on Saturday. Oxygen has to come from place to place, but it is not able to reach and due to this the lack of oxygen remains in Delhi.
