Lockdown, Day 77: Delhi drowning

Even as Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal sets out to get tested, his city is facing an uphill battle against the virus, recording close to 30,000 cases. His stand-in, Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia, is predicting much worse - estimating that the national capital will record over five lakh cases by the end of July.
