So far 2,35,689 people had defeated Covid in the state capital. Dr Sanjay Bhatnagar, CMO, warned against any sort of complacency in wake of the drop in Covid count.

“It’s an important time for authorities and residents as the number of cases is dropping down to single digits. Our aim should be to get the figures to zero and for that people must follow Covid Appropriate Behaviour. They must follow social distancing and continue to wear masks at public places,” he said.
