Delhi is expected to record 14,000 fresh Covid cases on Thursday, Health Minister Satyendar Jain said. Speaking to reporters, the minister also said the city is in a comfortable position in terms of hospital bed occupancy and there is no need for a lockdown right now. Jain said the number of cases in Delhi is high due as a large number of people are being tested for Covid-19 in the city.
"We have been conducting a large number of tests. If we don`t do that, the new cases can reduce to 500-1,000. A lot of people (states) don`t conduct tests and say they don`t have cases. We have been transparent," he said. "We are conducting the maximum number of tests in the country," he claimed.
