New Delhi: Arvind Kejriwal, the Delhi Chief Minister, will convene a high-level review conference today to discuss the rising number of COVID-19 cases in the national capital, which saw the greatest single-day case surge in the recent six months on Monday. The meeting will take place at the Delhi Secretariat at 12 p.m. The meeting's top priority is anticipated to be the implementation of the Graded Response Action Plan.
With Delhi reporting the biggest single-day increase in COVID-19 cases in six months, a Yellow Alert is expected to be issued, bringing with it a slew of restrictions under the Graded Response Action Plan (GRAP).
For the second consecutive day, the COVID positive rate in the national capital exceeded 0.5 percent, which, according to GRAP, is the threshold for issuing a yellow alert. On Monday, Delhi recorded 331 new COVID-19 cases, the largest single-day increase in over six months. On June 6, 331 instances were reported in Delhi.
The Delhi government authorised GRAP at a meeting of the Delhi Disaster Management Authority (DDMA) on July 9, 2021. With the third COVID-19 wave in mind, four alerts were established: yellow alert, amber alert, orange alert, and red alert. The Delhi Government and DDMA are likely to issue a yellow alert in light of the present COVID-19 situation, according to sources. In Delhi, there are numerous constraints on the use of the yellow alert.
