Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Friday blamed pollution for the current increase in COVID-19 cases in the national capital. However, he hoped that situation should come under control in the next 7-10 days.
Addressing a press conference, Kejriwal said one of the main reasons behind the fresh surge in COVID-19 cases in Delhi is pollution.
The chief minister claimed that the city has contained rising cases but after pollution increased, the number of cases also shot up.
India’s Covid-19 tally reached above the 87 lakh-mark on Friday as Delhi recorded 7,053 fresh COVID-19 cases in a day, after which the total tally in Delhi surpassed 4.67 lakh-mark. The city recorded 104 fatalities, pushing the death toll to 7,332.
