"We are seeing a huge spike in the current month. We want a latest status report from all states. Worse things may happen in December if states aren't well prepared," the Supreme Court bench was quoted stating in an India Today report.

"We have heard Delhi, Gujarat, Assam and Maharashtra. In November, there has been a spike in Covid cases all across the country. Delhi submits that it has already filed an affidavit complying with our earlier order. Other counsels have also stated that compliance affidavits have been filed," the bench added.
