Two Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) volunteers engaged in food distribution at Delhi’s government-run centers in Mehrauli also tested positive, after which several localities in the area have been declared as containment zones. The number of containment zones in the national capital increased to 99 on Monday.

After an increase in the number of patients recovered last week, more than 800 in a week, the day there was no new recovery of patients. So far, 54 people have died of coronaviruses in the city, authorities said.

To ensure adequate protection for all those at the forefront of the fight against COVID-19, Lt. Governor Anil Baijal addressed the Delhi government and police, saying there should be no commitment to their safety.

As cases increase across the country, the entire city of Pune was declared a containment area. In view of the order issued by Pune municipal commissioner Shekhar Gaikwad in this regard, the police also extended the restrictions already imposed on residents. “We have already imposed a curfew on the city of Pune to control the spread of the coronavirus,” said Joint Police Commissioner Ravindra Shisve.

With 84 new cases of COVID-19 detected in Pune, the count in the district rose to 1,348 on Monday, while the death toll rose to 80, an official said.

Pune authorities attributed the increasing numbers to increased testing capacity, and health officials now analyze more than 1,000 samples per day.

Meanwhile, Maharashtra reported 522 new cases of COVID-19 on Monday, bringing the total number of infected people to 8,590, a Health Department official said. With 27 more deaths, the total number of COVID-19 deaths increased to 369, he said.
