Amidst a new surge in infections that is being viewed as the second wave of the virus, the Delhi government, on Tuesday, announced that random Coronavirus testing will be conducted at Delhi's airports, railway and bus station. For private buses, random testing will be conducted at crowded boarding points. A bar has also set on the public celebration of the upcoming festivals of Holi, Shab-e-Barat and Navratra.
The Delhi government has insisted that safety measures for Covid should be rigorously observed in public places, particularly in markets and malls. The district magistrates and senior police officers of all districts have been directed to stringently follow the instructions.
The government directive says that "Random testing of travellers coming from states where corona infection is spreading very fast" should be done.
