Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel declared on Saturday that with the coordinated efforts of all, the Covid-19 situation in Chhattisgarh is now under control.
But the need remains to strictly follow the Covid appropriate behaviour, he virtually told a meeting of revenue, police and health sub-division and block level officers of Rajnandgaon and Kabirdham districts.
People arriving from bordering areas should go for the mandatory Covid test, he said.
Similarly, marriages and other social gatherings in villages has increased the positive cases, he added, calling it a matter of concern.
Officials should ensure that restrictions and Covid appropriate behavior are followed at such gatherings, he said.
Care should be taken that not more than 10 people attend a marriage, he said.
Home Minister Tamradhwaj Sahu warned that social media was being used to spread rumours regarding Covid vaccination. The officials should take stern action against persons who spread rumours.
