The Delhi government on Wednesday named 20 coronavirus hotspots - mostly small pockets of settlements and apartment complexes - and sealed these areas. The AAP government further made it compulsory for people to wear face masks when stepping outdoors to contain the spread of the novel coronavirus. Later in the day, Prime Minister Narendra Modi called the pandemic a "social emergency" hinting at an extension of the nation-wide 21-day lockdown.

As the national capital reported 93 new cases taking the total number of infections to 669, Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal held an emergency meeting with senior ministers and top officials of the Delhi government Wednesday evening and took a series of decisions to check the spread of the virus.
