Even as the state recorded low Covid-19 numbers on Saturday, Health Minister Rajesh Tope has urged people to not be lax, and follow Covid-appropriate behaviour in view of the Centre’s advisory on the infection that is rising quickly in other countries.

Tope said on Saturday that the Centre has written a letter to the state governments, asking them to be alert, as countries are locking down to curb the surge in transmission of the Omicron BA.2 variant.
