On Wednesday i.e April 14, Delhi recorded over 17,000 fresh cases of COVID-19 leaving behind Mumbai’s daily rise tally (11,163). During the same period, Bengaluru recorded 8,155 cases, Chennai 2,564, which are the highest daily surge in these cities. While Pune’s highest single-day was at 12,494 count, which makes it the city’s highest rise ever since the pandemic hit India. The cause of this sudden surge in Delhi is being monitored by health officials in the state. It is believed that the various mutated versions of COVID-19 could one of the possible reasons for the massive transmission. However, nothing has been officially announced as of yet by the ministry.
Suranjit Chatterjee (senior consultant at Apollo Hospitals) from Delhi, reportedly stated, “It is an absolute rampage in the city, young and old, vaccinated or not vaccinated, the virus is just hitting everyone. Delhi’s situation is grim.”
For the unversed, few states in India have reported having a shortage of Coronavirus vaccine and oxygen supply. Which is surely contributing towards the safety concerns.
