Delhi reported 325 fresh COVID-19 cases and zero fatality due to the viral disease on Thursday, while the positivity rate was recorded at 2.39 per cent, according to data shared by the city health department. The Covid positivity rate in the national capital has jumped from 0.5 per cent to 2.39 per cent in a week, even as doctors on Tuesday said it was "not a panic situation" as the count of daily cases was still low, but cautioned against dropping the guard. The daily spike of 325 cases on Thursday saw a marked rise from 137 cases reported on Monday, according to the health department. The department did not issue a bulletin on Tuesday.
On Monday, the positivity rate was 2.7 per cent -- the highest in two months. It was 2.87 per cent on February 5.
