He added that cars carrying families could be allowed to enter the borders, that too, only when they were checked for coronavirus symptoms.
Rane said, “We have launched a self-assessment interactive app on Coronavirus. This is the first in the country. We are all taking precautions and even discouraging a gathering of five people. We do not want tourists coming to Goa till the situation settles,” Rane said.
He said that private programs like marriage are also banned until further orders. Goa shares a border with Maharashtra and Karnataka, with both states affirming positive coronavirus cases.
