The Delhi government is marking all homes with persons advised to home quarantine, Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal said on Sunday, as he appealed to the people to not stigmatise such families.

Kejriwal appealed to all to stay indoors even after the ' Janta curfew' ends at 9 pm, and stay at home in the coming days too.

"Delhi govt is marking all homes with persons advised to home quarantine. I appeal to all not to stigmatize such families," he tweeted. "Please be empathetic and supportive towards them. The marking is aimed only at cautioning others for their own safety."
"The prime minister has announced 'janata' curfew till 9 pm. We all have to follow it," Kejriwal said. "I appeal to all to stay indoors even after 9 pm. In the coming days too, stay at home."
"The number of Covid-19 cases in India has doubled in less than a week," Kejriwal said. "We should be prepared to see a surge in cases but we must not panic. It is the time to be strong and united as a nation. We must support one another."
"Yes, the Govt has an imp role to play. We are taking all steps necessary to save lives and will lockdown where required. We are boosting our healthcare, providing relief to those hurt by the economic fallout," he said." But as citizens, it is our duty to ensure minimal social interaction."
