As the number of active coronavirus cases and positivity rate in the national capital are declining, the Arvind Kejriwal-led Delhi government has started the unlock process in the state. Markets, malls, and offices in the national capital are all set to reopen from today after being shut for one-and-half months, with the police and district administration deploying teams across the city to enforce Covid-appropriate behaviour. Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal had on Saturday announced further relaxations in the lockdown, and said Delhi Metro will operate at 50 per cent capacity and markets and malls in the national capital will open on an odd-even basis from June 7.
