We have strictly not allowed anyone from the containment centres to go out nor allowed anyone from entering the Centres. We have quarantined all the persons who came in contact with the patients. Due to this we could successfully contain the spread of Corona Virus. On the other hand, lockdown is being implemented successfully in the State. People are also cooperating. If people continue to extend their support like this and follow the conditions, regulations imposed by lockdown and at the containment centres, we will certainly get a good result,” the CM said.
