The Indian capital New Delhi is experiencing a third wave of COVID-19 cases, according to the city’s chief minister.
The city reported 6,842 new Coronavirus cases on Wednesday its highest 24-hour rise in COVID-19 infections for the second day in a row, according to the New Delhi Health Department. The day before, the city reported 6,725 new cases.

“During the past few days, there has been a surge in the number of Coronavirus cases. My understanding is that we can call this the third wave because by the start of October, the numbers had begun to drop – they even dropped below 3,000,” Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal warned on Wednesday.
India recorded 50,210 fresh cases on Wednesday, the Ministry of Health said — taking the country’s total to 8.36 million cases and 124,315 related deaths.
