Indian capital’s chief minister ‘unwell’ as city battles virus

Delhi’s chief minister, Arvind Kejriwal, has a fever and cough, common symptoms of the Coronavirus, according to media reports. He is expected to be tested later today.

The news comes as the Indian capital struggles to cope with a spike in infections – it has confirmed more than 27,000 cases and 761 deaths so far.

And Kejriwal said on Sunday that hospital beds in the city would be reserved for residents amid reports that patients are struggling to get admitted for treatment.

Meanwhile, India has taken steps to further relax its stringent lockdown – shopping centres, restaurants, temples and offices are open from Monday.

Delhi is the second-worst affected state in India, which, overall, has recorded 256,611 cases.
