Although, the cases have come down and positivity rate has reduced from the high of 35 per cent on April 26 to around 23 per cent now, but strictness is needed, he said.

The national capital is under lockdown till May 10 to check the rising number of COVID-19 cases.

The registration process for the vaccination of people in the 18-44 age group under the third phase of the inoculation drive has begun in the national capital.
