Addressing an online media briefing, he said: “The COVID-19 situation in Delhi is under control but we do not have to be complacent. We will continue our preparations.”
He said: “My government’s first principle of combating the disease is that the COVID-19 fight cannot be won alone, that is why, the AAP dispensation sought cooperation from everyone, be it the Centre, hotels and other organisations.”
