The Times Of India is leading with Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal saying COVID-19 is spreading very fast and it would be difficult to contain it if any relaxation in the lockdown was given in the capital at this point in time. The Centre on Sunday rescinded permission to e-commerce firms to resume the sale and delivery of non-essential items from Monday.

Hindustan Times: Delhi will not immediately ease any restrictions clamped under the national lockdown because coronavirus cases are on the rise, chief minister Arvind Kejriwal said. E-commerce companies such as Amazon and Filpkart are not allowed to sell products unless they are in the essential items list, the Union home ministry said in an order.

The Telegraph: The government put in place a regulatory oversight mechanism in a thinly disguised attempt to stop Chinese investors from scooping up stakes in Indian companies whose valuations may have gone through the wringer after the coronavirus outbreak. Bengal, among all states, has tested the fewest number of people for the coronavirus but has the second-highest positivity rate after Delhi, possibly because its screening process is focused on high-risk people, epidemiologists have said.

The Asian Age: While some parts of India gear up of relaxation from the lockdown on Monday, a spurt in asymptomatic cases is causing concern in several states. The government on Sunday prohibited the sale of non-essential items through e-commerce platforms during the ongoing lockdown, four days after allowing such companies to sale mobile phones, refrigerators and ready-made garments.
