Odisha Limits 200 People At Marriages, 50 At Funerals Due To COVID
Mumbai: In view of the COVID-19 resurgence in the state, the Odisha government on Tuesday issued new guidelines to limit the number of people at marriages and related gatherings to 200 instead of 500.
The Special Relief Commission stated that the police specialized in implementing COVID-appropriate behaviour in the form of rapid spread, implementation and monitoring of virus activity in public places, especially markets, religious institutions, marriage sites, etc. As urban areas are more vulnerable to the rapid spread of the virus, enforcement and surveillance activities would be strictly monitored there.
On Tuesday, Odisha reported 113 new cases of COVID-19, taking the total active cases to 898.
In view of the COVID revival, the Jagannath temple in Puri was closed once a week.
Meanwhile, the state government said that all health facilities and community health workers would monitor ILI / SARI cases and ensure their trial.
“As per the guidelines of the Department of Health and Family Welfare, testing of returns from the Red Flag States will have to be ensured. The RT-PCR test level should be increased according to the targets sent to the districts. For all positive cases, contact tracking should be done and test-track-treatment guidelines should be followed,” said the government order.
It also said that wherever a cluster of cases is detected, mini-containment zones can be set up.
