Delhi govt believes Singapore strain could lead to a third wave in India
Amid a Singapore Covid-19 strain face-off, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, on Wednesday, chaired a high-level review meeting that was attended by Health Minister Satyendar Jain and Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia.
While the Delhi government believes there is a new strain originating from Singapore that could lead to a third wave in India, the aspect of “Singapore strain” has been strongly refuted by the Singapore Government. External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar, too, tweeted that Delhi Chief Minister does not speak for India and that “irresponsible comments” from those who should know better can damage long-standing partnerships.
