We must keep this in mind whenever we compare the situation from other states. Corona in India came from outside, India did not have any Corona cases of its own.

 Corona had a huge impact in countries such as Italy and London, and many other countries and the Indians living there asked the governments of those cities that they wanted to go back to Delhi. “The Indian government decided to bring these people back to India by sending special flights. Delhi is the national capital of India, and so 80 per cent to 90 0per cent of all the flights landed in Delhi. Corona was a new disease then, and nobody knew about any protocol or guidelines to be followed, no quarantine, and no isolation…,” Kejriwal said.
