“As the third stage is approaching, the number of cases is increasing across the world,” he said, adding that until now, Chhattisgarh has only one positive case that has been detected and it is under control.
The awareness among the people can only help to control it pathogen, he said and reiterated his to people to stay indoors a few more days until March 31.
“We hope for cooperation from the people,” he said in his appeal.

Guidelines issued by Centre and the state government should be strictly followed to prevent spread of the pandemic.
