India TV News  

Highlights DDMA decided to impose weekend curfew in the national capital Govt employees, barring those engaged in essential services, will be asked to work from home Delhi on Monday reported 4,099 fresh COVID-19 cases The Delhi Disaster Management Authority on Tuesday decided to impose weekend curfew in the national capital in view of the surge in Covid cases driven by the fast-spreading Omicron variant, sources said. Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia while making the announcements revised the guidelines and said Metros and buses would now run in full capacity but no one would be allowed to travel without the mask. Delhi on Monday reported 4,099 fresh COVID-19 cases and the positivity rate spiralled to 6.46 per cent, with Health Minister Satyendar Jain saying the Omicron variant of coronavirus is behind the surge in infections in the city and more restrictions will be implemented if the bed occupancy rate goes up. According to the DDMA-approved Graded Response Action Plan, a positivity rate of more than five per cent for two consecutive days is one of the criteria to declare a 'red alert' which would mean a 'total curfew' and halting of most economic activities in the capital.
