Satyendra Jain, Delhi Health Minister, confirmed that a new policy is being formulated based on the suggestions and it would be announced in 2-3 days. Giving slight details of the next phase of the lockdown in the city, Jain further said that whatever is open, will remain operational providing appropriate social distancing is observed.
