NEW DELHI, May 9: The ongoing lockdown in Delhi has been extended for another week, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal announced on Sunday. It will be harsher this time around and the Delhi Metro will not operate for at least a week, he said. “I have spoken to traders, women, youth and many others over the past few days. Everyone believes that while cases have come down, they are not at the level where the lockdown can be lifted. Otherwise, what we have gained will be lost. So, the lockdown is being extended for another week, Kejriwal said. The Union Territory (UT) of Delhi first announced a week-long lockdown this year on April 19. It has been extended every Sunday since, as cases and positivity rate refused to dip. Essential services will be available during the lockdown, and those with medical emergencies will not be stopped.
