“The decision to continue the lockdown should be taken on a national level,” Mr Kejriwal said. “If the states decide the length of the lockdown on their own, then the fight against the coronavirus won’t be effective,” he added. Delhi currently has the third-highest number of coronavirus cases following Tamil Nadu and Maharashtra.
