Coronavirus LIVE Updates: India Has Restricted Covid 19 Cases, Deaths To One Of The Lowest In The World, Says Health Minister At Lok Sabha


Coronavirus LIVE Updates: The Delhi government has allowed gyms and yoga centers in the national capital to reopen after being closed for more than five months due to the Covid-19 pandemic. In an order issued late in the evening, the Delhi Disaster Management Authority (DDMA) said that gymnasiums and yoga institutes in the city will be allowed to reopen, except in containment zones, with immediate effect. According to the order, the weekly markets have also been allowed on a test basis until September 30 in ‘Unlock-4’. The AAP dispensation and the government lieutenant’s office have recently been at odds over the reopening of gyms in the national capital. Last month, the Delhi government had sent a proposal to Lieutenant Governor Anil Baijal on the matter, but it was rejected.

The decision to reopen gyms and yoga centers comes at a time when the city has witnessed an increase in the number of coronavirus cases. On Sunday, the coronavirus case count in Delhi rose to 2.18 lakh with 4,235 more people contracting the viral disease, while 29 new deaths in the past 24 hours brought the death toll to 4,744. This was the fifth day in a trot that the national capital recorded a daily peak of more than 4,000 fresh boxes. The city posted its biggest jump in a single day of 4,321 new COVID-19 cases on Saturday, 4,266 on Friday, 4,308 on Thursday and 4,039 on Wednesday.
