New Delhi [India], May 31 : AAP leader Sanjay Singh expressed satisfaction with the Centre's decision over the announcement of relaxations, beginning June 1, during the ongoing COVID-19 crisis.
"We had been saying this from the beginning that the lockdown cannot be an endless procedure. Therefore, this Unlock 1 is a good decision to bring life back on track," Singh told ANI here.
The Rajya Sabha MP further said that the rise in a number of cases in Delhi was a result of the high number of tests being conducted by Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal-led government.
With an increase of 1,163 new cases, the COVID-19 count in the national capital reached 18,549 with 416 deaths being reported due to the infection till Saturday.
