• The infection rate exceeded 35% for the first time in a single day on Thursday after report of 5,360 people came. Of these, 1,877 people were found infected or every third person who was investigated for Covid-19 in Delhi had contracted the respiratory disease.

Dr Naval Kishore Vikram, a professor at the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), said the rapidly increasing infection rate can cause further difficulties in the coming years.

• He added that if the number of investigations in Delhi is increased to 10,000, then the number of infected people will be very high.

• "It will not be easy for us to have adequate health facilities for so many patients," Vikram was quoted as saying by HT's sister publication Hindustan.

• There has been a rapid decline in the recovery rate in Delhi, according to data.

On May 30, 44% of the patients had recovered from Covid-19 but now the rate of recovery has come down even as the number of cases has increased. On June 11, patients recovering from the highly contagious infection remained just 36%.
