Fact Check: Has Lockdown Been Announced Till March 31 In Delhi?

A clip showing ABP News bulletin of Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and Lieutenant Governor Anil Baijal announcing lockdown in Delhi till March 31 is doing rounds on social media.

On careful verification, one can see that the clip is last year’s and dates back to March 22, 2020.

Amid rising COVID-19 cases, Delhi Health Minister Satyendar Jain on Saturday ruled out the possibility of lockdowns. “First it was said that it’s a 14-day cycle between infection and recovery. Experts said if all activities close for 21 days, it won’t spread. Lockdown was extended, but it didn’t stop (the spread) completely. So, I don’t think lockdown is the solution,” the minister said.
