Chhattisgarh govt decides to restore Covid protocols amid rise in Covid cases in many states

Raipur: Chhattisgarh government has decided to restore Covid protocols, including mandatory wearing of masks at offices and public places, in the wake of rise in Covid cases in many states. The state government issued a circular to all divisional commissioners and district collectors to ensure implementation of COVID protocols in all places, including in factories, markets, shopping malls, hospitals, and other public places.

Mask or face covers will be compulsory with immediate effect and spitting in public places has been prohibited. Social distancing



norms will have to be followed in public places.

Those patients in-home quarantine will have to strictly follow the directions issued by the health department from time to time. On April 12, the state government had decided to do away with the mandatory wearing of face masks in public places in the wake of significant falls in fresh Covid -19 cases in the state.

In Chhattisgarh, only six cases were tested positive yesterday while the total active cases stood at 23 in the state.
