Delhi Health Minister Satyendar Jain gives an update on the Covid and vax situation in the national capital.

-- Covaxin stock has almost ended. We only have 2-3 days of stock for Covidshield vaccines for 18- 44 years of age group. We can't mix already assigned centers for Covaxin and Covishield vaccines.

-- Yesterday we reported 10,489 positive cases and the positivity rate was 14.24%. The highest positivity rate was 36% in Delhi so now it is less than half of it. We're seeing a decline in trends from April 24.

-- Through global tender, we can only procure Covishield, Covaxin & Sputnik V in the country. If there is a need for a global tender then it should be done by the Central govt.

-- Central govt is a partner in Covaxin's manufacturing so they can share the formula with others. Centre should cap prices of all vaccines and it should not be more than Rs 150/dose... We'll start vaccination for 45 years & above age group in govt schools soon."
