According to Health Minister Satyendar Jain, the third wave of COVID-19 in the capital is at the peak, and the number of cases so far seems to be in the worst phase. Meanwhile, cases of infection in the country increased to 86,83,916 after 47,905 new cases of COVID-19 were reported in India in one day. At the same time, 80,66,501 people have also become infection free in the country. The minister said that the government had increased the number of beds for COVID-19 patients in Delhi hospitals, but there is no plan to take the services of hotels and procession houses. Satyendra Jain said that COVID's peak lasts from about four-five days to a week. It seems that we are at peak time. According to experts, the peak that came earlier also lasted 4 to 5 days. So we can consider it 4 to 5 days. If we look at the data of the whole world, then more than six lakh new cases are coming out every day, which had never come before. It has just started freezing all over Europe.
