New Delhi readies vast quarantine centre as coronavirus cases mount

Live Mint  

Authorities in New Delhi worked to convert a spiritual centre into a huge quarantine facility on Thursday as coronavirus cases in the national capital overtook the financial hub Mumbai for the first time. Delhi now has 70,390 coronavirus cases, with more than 40,000 detected in the last two weeks. Nationally, a record 16,922 new cases were recorded in the past 24 hours, federal data released on Thursday showed, taking total cases in the country to nearly half a million with nearly 15,000 deaths. But unlike some other states, Delhi has tested its citizens aggressively, a fact experts hope will help over the next few weeks, when cases could peak in the capital.
