As soon as the lockdown was announced, a crowd on contracts in Delhi, a woman said – I do not do drugs, the effect of the peg

With the announcement of the lockdown in Delhi, there is a huge crowd at the liquor shops. People coming here are buying not one, not two, but full cartons of beer and liquor. Regardless of the area, everywhere, there is an increasing crowd on liquor contracts. Long lines are visible in front of the liquor store. Let me tell you that a similar scene was seen in Delhi last year when something was relaxed in the lockdown and liquor shops were allowed to open.

Addressing an online press conference, Kejriwal said that the number of daily cases of Covid-19 has remained around 25,500 in the last few days in Delhi and the burden on the health system has increased a lot.

The Chief Minister said that the number of coronavirus patients is increasing in Delhi, there is a severe shortage of medicines, beds, ICU, oxygen, so there is a need for a lockdown to prevent the health system from collapsing. Kejriwal said that it was not easy to take the decision to impose a lockdown.
