Delhi records another Covid-19 fatality
Delhi reported one more COVID-19 death on Monday—a 67-year-old man with serious health issues—bringing the total to six.
No new infections were found that day, and active cases dropped by 33 to 649.
The city is staying alert after a recent government advisory told hospitals to gear up, as other states like Kerala and Gujarat are seeing a rise in cases.
Man had advanced lung cancer
The man who passed away had advanced lung cancer and severe breathing problems along with COVID-19 pneumonia.
His case is a reminder that people with major health conditions still face higher risks from the virus, even though overall numbers in Delhi remain low.
Hospitals told to prepare
Delhi's government has asked hospitals to make sure beds, oxygen, medicines, and vaccines are ready—just in case.
While local spread is limited for now, India's active COVID-19 cases have crossed 7,000 nationwide, with Kerala hit hardest.
Authorities are keeping an eye out for any sudden spikes elsewhere.
