Delhi will be under complete curfew from tonight to next Monday morning amid a rapid rise in Covid-19 cases.
The national capital recorded the biggest jump in its daily Covid tally with 25,462 fresh cases.
The government had already imposed a weekend curfew in the capital.
The decision on this was taken at the meeting between L-G Anil Baijal and CM Arvind Kejriwal on Monday morning. Kejriwal will be making an official announcement about the lockdown soon.
Earlier, Kejriwal said that the situation in Delhi is worsening, and less than 100 ICU beds are available for coronavirus patients.
