[Python] Adding multiple empty rows to a csv file

I have a csv file with around 500 lines, i want to insert multiple empty rows for each row , i.e add 5 empty rows after each row, so i tried this

import csv
with open("new.csv", 'r') as infile:
read=csv.reader(infile, delimiter=',')
with open("output1.csv", 'wt') as output:
outwriter=csv.writer(output, delimiter=',')
i = 0
for row in read:
outwriter.writerow(row)
i += 1
outwriter.writerow([])


This creates 3 empty rows but not 5, i am not sure on how to add 5 rows for each row. what am i missing here

Update: CSV File sample
