NEW DELHI: India's capital Delhi and financial hub Mumbai have reported a big fall in COVID-19 infections in the past two days and most of those who contracted the virus have recovered at home, authorities said on Monday .
Delhi's cases have fallen consistently since hitting a peak of 28,867 on Jan 13 and is expected to be fewer than 15,000 on Monday, for the first time since early January, the city government's health minister told reporters. "With very large numbers of sub-clinical, asymptomatic and undetected cases, it is difficult to pinpoint a peak by new cases," Rajib Dasgupta, head of the Centre of Social Medicine & Community Health at New Delhi’s Jawaharlal Nehru University, said in an email.
Experts have attributed the low hospitalisations to high levels of previous infections and vaccination. India has fully vaccinated about 70 per cent of its 939 million adults and hopes to give the primary two doses to another 70 million or so teenagers by next month.
