Delhi has seen an uptick in the number of cases over the past two weeks, with many people in the Delhi secretariat also testing positive. This includes a senior official of the Delhi Disaster Management Authority, a senior functionary in the health department, and at least three officials working in the General Administration Department.
Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia said on Monday that he would attend the scheduled meeting with the state disaster management authority on Tuesday, where the possibility of community spread in the city will be discussed. The CM was supposed to attend the meeting, which will be chaired by the L-G.
