In the second wave of coronavirus, Delhi has been witnessing a caseload that is worse than what was witnessed in the first wave. On Tuesday, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal said that during the first wave's peak in November last year, 8,500 cases were reported in a 24-hour period. And, in the last 24 hours, 13,500 cases have been reported in the capital city, showing that the second wave is raging.

Saying that the ongoing wave is very dangerous, the AAP supremo said that, in the past 10 to 15 days, 65% of the patients are below 45 years of age.

He appealed to one and all to go out of home only if absolutely essential.

The young profile of patients is a cause for concern, considering that a majority of the working population is young.
