Due to the coronavirus outbreak, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal today has said a lockdown in the future might be possible. The statement comes as COVID-19 positive cases in India have increased to 298 while four deaths have also been reported.
"I appeal to all of you to discontinue your morning walks for some time and stay at home. We are not doing a lockdown currently but we might in the future, if necessary for your betterment and safety," the CM said.
Five or more people cannot gather at any place in Delhi. If there are five people, they should maintain at least one-metre distance from each other. According to an earlier order, 20 or more people were barred from gathering at a place.
Daily wage labourers are losing their livelihood due to coronavirus. The Chief Minister also announced free ration to over 72 lakh people who are dependent on Delhi government's ration scheme. Each person will now get 7.5 kg ration instead of 5 kg that they usually get.
