Delhi seems to have hit the Covid-19 peak with the number of daily cases declining significantly, AIIMS Director Randeep Guleria said on Monday, but cautioned against any lowering of guard.

He also said cases are increasing in certain states and they will reach a peak later, but there is not much evidence of community transmission of Covid-19 at the national level.

"However, there are hotspots even in cities where there is a spike of cases, and it is likely that local transmission is happening in those areas that is why containment zones need aggressive action," he said.
