He said that Delhi hospitals still have an adequate number of unoccupied Covid beds, and so a lockdown doesn't seem necessary for now.

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.
