Here in every one to two months, the cases of infection will continue to fluctuate in the same way.
COVID expert Dr. Anshuman Kumar told that lakhs of people come to Delhi daily from neighboring states. If anyone sees any symptoms of fever or COVID in them, then they get tested in Delhi itself. In such a situation, the patient of other state gets added to the account of Delhi. Apart from this, people also come from other states for treatment in the capital. If a patient has been admitted to the hospital for some other disease, then it also happens that he gets infected in the COVID test.
