Delhi : A sudden rise in COVID-19 cases has put Delhi on high alert, with 23 new infections reported in a single day—the highest daily tally in months. The unexpected surge has prompted health officials to convene an emergency meeting to evaluate the situation and formulate a response strategy.
This uptick in infections is part of a broader trend across India, where the number of active COVID-19 cases has climbed to 257 as of May 19, 2025. States including Kerala, Maharashtra, and Tamil Nadu have also reported fresh cases, raising concerns about a possible resurgence of the virus.
In response to the growing numbers, Delhi’s health department has ramped up surveillance and testing efforts, focusing on areas where new cases have emerged. Authorities have issued public health advisories urging residents to stay vigilant, follow safety protocols, wear masks, maintain social distancing, and practice regular hand hygiene.
Officials stress that proactive measures and public cooperation will be crucial in containing the spread of the virus and preventing a larger outbreak. The situation continues to be monitored closely, with further guidelines expected in the coming days.
