The number of confirmed cases of COVID-19 in Delhi has been on the rise again in recent days. The capital has seen a continuous surge in the number of cases, with 152 new infections reported in the last 24 hours alone. The infection rate has also risen to 6.66%. This represents a significant increase from the 117 cases reported on Thursday, indicating that the situation is worsening rapidly.

Experts have suggested that the rise in COVID-19 cases may be linked to the increasing number of cases of H3N2 flu in the city. As more people have been getting tested for H3N2, some have been found to be positive for COVID-19 as well. The trend is reflected in the figures from the past few days, with 84 cases reported on Wednesday and 83 on Tuesday, before the sudden spike on Friday.

The Municipal Corporation of Delhi has issued several recommendations to hospitals in the city to help tackle the situation. Hospitals have been advised to screen patients with fever and maintain an adequate supply of essential medicines. They have also been instructed to ensure that ventilators and other equipment are in good working order.

The Corporation has urged hospitals to promote the booster vaccine dose to their employees and patients and to follow all government guidelines to prevent the spread of COVID-19. A nodal officer has been appointed to ensure that hospitals maintain cleanliness, prevent the spread of infection, and manage biomedical waste effectively.

The situation is not limited to Delhi, as cases of COVID-19 are rising rapidly in other parts of India as well. Maharashtra, Gujarat, and Karnataka are all areas of concern, and the central government has held a meeting to discuss the matter. The focus remains on testing, tracing, and treatment, as authorities work to contain the spread of the virus.

The Delhi Police Commissioner, Sanjay Arora, received a threatening email about a bomb at a school near Nangloi railway station. This email, received at 10:17 am from a Gmail user, warned of an explosion at 2:18 pm. In response, the Commissioner’s office immediately alerted the Special Cell and Crime Branch to investigate. The police traced the email to a minor who had created a fake email ID and used a new SIM card for this purpose. The police picked up the juvenile from Outer Delhi for questioning and are verifying his age.

This incident followed a similar threat sent to over 150 schools in Delhi-NCR the day before. Schools, including Sanskriti School in Chanakyapuri, received emails threatening to blow up their premises. One 12-year-old boy was apprehended from Southern range in connection with these threats. After counselling and examination, he admitted his mistake and was released to his parents.

The police have filed an FIR under IPC sections related to criminal conspiracy and intimidation. They suspect that the emails were sent with the intention of creating panic and disturbance. The Special Cell’s Counter-Intelligence Unit traced the email to a Russian IP address (mail.ru), indicating international involvement in the hoax.

The Delhi Police have also sought assistance from the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) and Interpol for further investigation. The CBI, experienced in handling similar cases, will coordinate with Interpol to involve law enforcement agencies worldwide.

This incident has put the national capital on high alert. Schools have been thoroughly checked, and security measures have been heightened. The police responded swiftly to ensure the safety of students and staff, evacuating schools and conducting anti-sabotage checks.

The minor who sent the threatening email to the Delhi Police Commissioner did so as an act of mischief, according to Delhi Police spokesperson Suman Malwa. The juvenile has been counselled and handed over to his parents. The police are continuing their investigation into these threats to prevent similar incidents in the future.
