Despite a third wave of Covid-19 infections slamming Delhi, Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal is not keen on another lockdown. He explained why, at this year's Hindustan Times Leadership Summit. Kejriwal said that lockdowns can't end the pandemic, but only help in preparing health infrastructure to deal with a spike in cases. He said that Delhi hospitals still have an adequate number of unoccupied Covid beds, and so a lockdown doesn't seem necessary for now. He also commented on the issue from the point of view of the economy, and said that if a lockdown is imposed in a hasty manner, many lives may be ruined. Read more

He credited his government's home isolation policy for the same. Kejriwal also expressed hope that the capital may be moving past the third wave with encouraging hints in recent days like a decrease in positivity rate, which is the ratio of positive results and total tests conducted.

Speaking at the 18th edition of the Hindustan Times Leadership Summit, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal said that Covid vaccine shouldn't be distributed on the basis of politics, but need and vulnerability.

Kejriwal said that if asked, his appeal to the Centre would be to not have VIP or non-VIP categories in vaccine distribution. He also spoke on the confusing trends thrown up by serological surveys, making the target of herd immunity even more elusive. Read more
