Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal said on Monday that there was no plan for another lockdown in Delhi even as the number of novel Coronavirus cases continue to rise.

"Many people are speculating whether another lockdown in Delhi is being planned. There are no such plans," Kejriwal tweeted. It comes a day after Union Home Minister Amit Shah held meetings with Kejriwal, Lieutenant Governor Anil Baijal and three mayors to discuss the strategy to deal with the COVID-19 situation. Delhi recorded 1,647 fresh cases on Monday, taking the COVID-19 tally in the city to 42,829, and the death toll due to the disease climbed to 1,400, authorities said.
