restrictions have been eased to some extent in delhi there is still much confusion and anxiety amongst its residents as the capital continues to formulate and implement new strategies it has a tough task ahead of itself as the challenge of coronavirus has now turned into a crisis. and let's get more i am joined now by our correspondent in delhi many are choudary who submitted that report for us a you looked at these measures taken by the government in order to contain the virus yet we're seeing a spike in daily cases does that mean the measures have failed. well one big reason that the spike in the number of cases of is being attributed to is it or lack sufficient in the log down groups like the dawning back to normalcy a lot of economic activities have revealed markets have opened up and delhi being a very densely populated city this kind of transmission when a lot of people do it as the owned their daily work is quite possible but i'm another side of the story is also that after this became evident that delhi is seeing a lot of the testing increase now delhi in stepping a lot more than a lot of other cities just in testing around 7 or $8000.00 people c

voters about going to a new place and that is definitely has a negative impact not only in delhi with all over india. the indian government says it's tested $10000000.00 people so far but it still has one of the lowest tested rates per capita in the world so reported cases are serious on the true numbers of infections that are probably in the 10s of millions of at this point in time for now it's going to keep continuing to live get some of the hundreds of millions of cases. and i don't really see a reason. because we really don't have an effective control measure. but the central government unwilling to reimpose a national lockdown because of its economic impact states are implementing their own measures to do it on the carillon has begun a one week lockdown allowing only essential services kolkata has suspended flights from the 6 worst hit cities for 2 weeks given india's large size and population health experts say different regions will experience a peak in infections at different times elizabeth al jazeera new delhi kenya's president has announced a phased reopening of the country
