Delhi 1 of only 2 states to show rise in cases in past 14 days

Delhi is one of only two states in the country, the other being Mizoram, where fresh coronavirus cases have shown an increase over the past two weeks as compared with the previous 14 days, reports Amit Bhattacharya.

During these two weeks (October 18-November 1), Kerala emerged as the Covid-19 capital of the country, logging the highest number of fresh infections, even though the pandemic actually showed a decline as compared with the previous 14 days in the state.

Delhi recorded 59,199 new cases in the last two weeks, which was the third highest count in the country. More significantly, the capital bucked the nationwide trend of decreasing Covid numbers.
