People in New Delhi have been obliged to wear masks once again after Covid-19 infections rebounded in the bustling capital where last year’s deadly Delta surge killed thousands and overwhelmed the city’s healthcare services.
“People caught without masks in public in the Indian capital will have to pay a fine of 500 rupees (6.2 euros),” the local government said after reimposing the mandate. This was despite the failure of a similar order in April to improve compliance in the city of 20 million.
