Delhi on Thursday (February 25) reported 220 new COVID-19 cases, the highest number of single-day rise in February. Although, no deaths were registered. This was the fourth time the single-day fatality count has stood nil in this month. According to official data, over 3.46 lakh beneficiaries have received the COVID-19 vaccine in Delhi to date, since the commencement of the vaccination drive in January. But as cases are surging in states like Maharashtra and Punjab, as a precautionary measure, the Delhi government has implemented new travel rules for passengers coming to Delhi from Maharashtra, Kerala, Chhattisgarh, Madhya Pradesh and Punjab. They have to furnish a negative RT-PCR test report not older than 72 hours.
