On May 9, CM Kejriwal had extended the lockdown by another week till May 17 with stricter curbs.

"We used the lockdown period to boost our medical infrastructure and to increase oxygen beds at various locations," Kejriwal had said, adding that metro services will also remain suspended during the lockdown.

“We imposed a very strict lockdown in Delhi, but the people of Delhi offered their complete support in the same. Everyone adhered to the lockdown completely,” the chief minister had said.
