Essential apps that can come handy during 6-day lockdown in Delhi

Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on April 19 announced a six-day lockdown due to the rapid surge in Covid-19 cases. He said the Capital’s healthcare infrastructure was on the brink of collapse and less than 100 ICU beds were available at the moment.

The lockdown, that began from 10 PM on April 19, will continue until 5 AM on April 26. Only essential services will be allowed during this period.
