Amid the rising Covid-19 cases in the State, mischief mongers have posted a fake circular on social media that fresh Covid guidelines have been issued by the Special Relief Commissioner (SRC).
The fake post containing an image of SRC Pradeep Jena features a set of Covid restrictions imposed in the State for the month of August. The restrictions include night curfew, weekend shutdown in Cuttack, Bhubaneswar and Puri and 50% occupancy in cinema halls and restaurants.
Taking cognisance of the matter, Jena took to Twitter and clarified that he has not issued any circular on Covid after April 1, 2022.
“A lot of fake messages are being circulated on social media. Nor SRC is issuing any circular on Covid restrictions in July/ August, 2022. No such order has been issued by SRC Odisha,” the SRC tweeted.
