With the cases of Coronavirus swelling in the country, the government on Monday prohibited entry of passengers from European Union (EU) countries, Turkey and the UK from March 18 till March 31. The Union health ministry also said four new Coronavirus cases — one each from Odisha, Jammu & Kashmir, Ladakh and Kerala, have been reported, taking the total number of cases to 114 on Monday. These cases include 10 discharged, three cured and two deaths.

The 'contact tracing activity' of these positive cases has led to identification of more than 5,200 contacts, who are kept under rigorous surveillance, health ministry officials said. After a meeting of the Group of Ministers (GoM) on Coronavirus, the government has proposed a set of social distancing measures to be in force till March 31, the officials told the media.
