New Delhi, 11th August 2022: In view of the increasing cases of Corona in Delhi, wearing masks has once again been made mandatory in public places. If someone is found violating this rule then a fine of Rs 500 will be charged.
However, fine will not be collected even for not wearing a mask while traveling in private four wheelers.
The government took this decision because in the last few days, the cases of corona and deaths in the capital are increasing rapidly. In the first 10 days of August, 40 people died. The deaths on August 10 are the highest in the last 180 days. In Delhi, 26,351 people have lost their lives due to Covid.
A government official said that in most of the deaths, the patient was suffering from Covid by chance as he was already undergoing treatment for other ailments.
