The number of coronavirus containment zones in Delhi rose to 55 on Monday after 8 new areas were added to the list.
The Delhi government expanded the list of containment zones in the national capital to 55. One of the eight new red zones was B-Block, Shastri Park, in the north-east district.
This was one of the only two districts – north-west is the other – that did not have any area under the containment zone. The north-east district is highly vulnerable due to its densely-populated residential neighbourhoods.
A list of containment zones issued by the government late on Tuesday evening also included areas in Sangam Vihar, C-2 Janakpuri, several lanes in Chhuriya Mohalla of Tughlakabad village in south Delhi and Jahangirpuri in north Delhi, Bara Hindu Rao area and Nawabganj in central Delhi.
