Following lockdown, the Covid-19 graph has begun showing a downward trend in Agra.

In the past 24 hours only 79 new cases were reported. The recovery rate has also gone up to 92.30 per cent from 75 per cent till a few days ago. Health department officials said the availability of beds had improved and the oxygen supply too has increased.

However, the worrying aspect was the return of complacency. As government offices opened on Monday, people were seen without masks and crowding up city buses.
