On April 21, the Delhi-Noida border was completely sealed and only persons who were issued special passes were being permitted to move across the border. A spike in COVID-19 cases was cited as the reason for the decision.
The order had stated that most patients who had tested positive, had had some connections with Delhi, according to a report submitted by the doctors.
Meanwhile, the number of positive cases in Noida and Greater Noida has crossed over 100 with as many as 28 hotspots.
