As an expert in public health and pandemic response, I have closely monitored and analyzed the situation in various regions, including Delhi, where the government has implemented a weekend curfew in response to the rising Covid-19 cases. My expertise extends to understanding the intricacies of such measures, including the Graded Response Action Plan (GRAP) and its color-coded alerts.
