New Delhi: The slide in the number of fresh COVID-19 cases, deaths and positivity rate in Delhi can be attributed to aggressive containment measures, a segment of population achieving immunity and fewer outside patients, experts said on Friday. Around five per cent of Delhi's population is immune to COVID-19 due to this factor, Jain said. Earlier, a large number of COVID-19 patients from neighbouring states were coming to Delhi for treatment.
