Amid demands for lifting the weekend curfew and odd-even for shops, the Delhi Disaster Management Authority (DDMA) will meet today, January 27, 2022, to review the Covid-19 situation in the national capital. Last week, the Delhi government allowed all private offices in the National Capital Territory of Delhi, outside the containment zone, to function with up to 50 percent attendance.

However, the DDMA advised private offices to stagger office timing, presence and quantum for staff. Earlier this month, DDMA decided to impose a curfew in Delhi on Saturdays and Sundays to curb the Covid-19 surge.

Delhi has reported 7,498 fresh-Covid cases and 29 deaths in a day as the positivity rate rose to 10.59 percent, according to the health department data on Wednesday.

Lieutenant Governor Anil Baijal will chair the Delhi Disaster Management authorities meeting over the covid situation in the national capital.

Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal will also be present at the DDMA meeting.

The topic of reopening schools is also on the agenda.
