Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal spoke on the recent surge in Covid cases in the capital and said that he is also worried.

‘COVID-19 cases have been increasing for the last few days.

I am also concerned about it.

We have been taking all appropriate measures to control it.

We are considering taking more steps next week.

I think the situation should come under control in 7 to 10 days and the cases should start decreasing,’ Arvind Kejriwal said during a press conference.

Kejriwal said that the Covid situation in the capital was under control till 20th of October but started worsening due to pollution.
