The administration ran a pilot disinfection drive using the hi-tech Japanese spray machines at Rajinder Nagar Assembly constituency. This is the first time in India that such advanced Japanese technology is being used to tackle the Covid-19 pandemic. The length of the machine is adjustable and as such, it can enter narrow lanes. The chemical composition used for the disinfection drive adheres to WHO guidelines. These machines spray disinfectants in a way that can kill germs and virus on any solid surface, according to a statement.

Meanwhile, in order to ensure strict compliance of social distancing norms, the Delhi government will implement odd-even rules in all wholesale markets of the city. Traders will sell vegetables on alternate days. The government has also decided to stagger the timings for sale of vegetables and fruits in these 'mandis' to ensure social distancing. Vegetables are sold from 6 am to 11 am and fruits from 2pm to 6pm in all wholesale markets in Delhi.
