New Delhi, July 20
On a day when India’s Covid cases climbed to 11,18,043 with a record daily spike of 40,425 cases, New Delhi AIIMS Director Randeep Guleria said the cases appeared to have peaked in the Capital.
For the first time in seven weeks, Delhi reported less than 1,000 new cases, Guleria said. Delhi recorded 954 cases on Monday.
“The rest of the places will peak later,” he said, ruling out community transmission at pan-India level and maintaining that large local outbreaks amenable to containment were being witnessed.
Meanwhile, AIIMS has begun human trials for indigenous vaccine candidate Covaxin being developed with Bharat Biotech. — TNS
