Delhi has gained control over the second wave of COVID-19, city Health Minister Satyendar Jain said on Wednesday adding that the government is ramping up its infrastructure to fight the future waves.
Claiming a large number of lives daily, the national capital faced a brutal second wave of the pandemic earlier this year. On April 20, the city had reported a record 28,395 cases.
On April 22, the case positivity rate was 36.2 per cent, the highest so far. At 448, the highest number of deaths was reported on May 3.
The rapid rise in the number of cases led to a shortage of medical oxygen at various city hospitals. However, the cases started declining from mid-May and currently, the positivity rate is below 1%.
