In addition to these screenings, patients who were previously found positive are getting positive contact. More positives are being obtained due to a large number of samples taken."
Dr Jadia further said that the unlock is considered only if the corona is over but the corona phase is still going on.
"If the public does not follow social distancing and personal distancing, not using the masks and sanitisers, then surely the administration will have to take strict steps. People should take precautions so that there is no need to impose lockdown," he added. (ANI)
