New Delhi: Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal’s wife Sunita Kejriwal tested positive for COVID-19 ON Tuesday, April 20. Sunita Kejriwal is currently under home isolation. Chief Minister Kejriwal has also isolated himself as a part of the precaution.

Earlier, in order to contain the spread of COVID-19, Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal on April 19 announced to put the national capital under complete lockdown. The complete COVID-19 lockdown in Delhi will begin at 10 PM on April 19 and will remain in place till 5 AM on April 26.

The decision comes a day after Delhi witnessed its biggest surge in the daily COVID-19 caseload with 25,462 fresh cases. 

Meanwhile, India registered 2,59,170 new COVID-19 cases and 1,761 deaths in the last 24 hours, the data by the Union Health Ministry showed on Tuesday (April 20, 2021) morning.

Alarmingly,  With the country reporting over 2 lakh cases daily for the past few days, India’s Covid situation is turning grimmer by the day. The rising coronavirus cases have put huge pressure on the country’s health infrastructure with several states including worst-hit Delhi and Maharashtra flagging the issue of oxygen shortage.

Meanwhile, the government has decided to restrict oxygen supply to nine industries and expedite the installation of 162 PSA plants in health facilities across the country, while the Railways announced special trains to transport the life-saver.
