The country has been witnessing a major surge in coronavirus cases and amidst this, Haryana’s health minister Anil Vij on Sunday blamed Delhi for the surge in coronavirus cases in Haryana. He said that the infection rate is very high in three districts of Haryana that are adjoined with Delhi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Anil Vij also said that Haryana has adequate health arrangements to deal with rising cases and whether a patient comes from Delhi or anywhere else, he is being given complete treatment in the state.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Reacting to Anil Vij’s statements, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal said that blaming will not end the virus. He further said that he will not step into this garbage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Meanwhile, Delhi on Sunday recorded 18,286 new cases and 28 deaths in the last 24 hours. Active cases have declined to 89,819. Currently, the positivity rate stands at 27.87 per cent in the national capital.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Delhi Health Minister Satyendar Jain on Monday said that Delhi is likely to witness 4,000-5,000 fewer cases than Sunday’s count of 18,286 cases. Recently, in order to implement Covid-appropriate behaviour strictly in markets, all districts have adopted a new strategy called Information, Education, and Communication (IEC). Under this, authorities will educate violators about the importance of following Covid guidelines in public areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
