Talking about containment zones in the capital city, Doctor Shuchin Bajaj of the Internal Medicine department at Delhi’s Ujala Cygnus Orthocare Hospital, said, “As we are currently in stage 3 of coronavirus pandemic, community transmission is deeply entrenched now. So if one house gets an index case, there is a big chance of a lot of people getting infected in that area. Therefore, the government has decided to increase the containment zones with proper sanitization and social distancing guidelines inside them.”
Earlier on Saturday, the former chief of Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR), NK Ganguly had said that Delhi has entered into Stage 3 or community transmission stage.
Ganguly, the former Director General of ICMR, told IANS, “Let us get out of this illusion that things are fine in Delhi. With so many cases reported daily continuously, it will not be wrong to say that Delhi has entered into community transmission or Stage 3. In fact, many cities (Delhi, Mumbai and Ahmedabad), which have a high volume of COVID-19 cases, are in the community transmission stage, otherwise how would one justify hundreds of cases every day.”
