Lockdown may return if COVID norms violated: Odisha CM Naveen Patnaik

Odisha Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik on Tuesday cautioned people that the government may be forced to reimpose lockdown if COVID-19 guidelines are not followed. Patnaik said this while reviewing the coronavirus situation of the state and its preparedness for tackling the possible third wave of the pandemic. "Keeping in view the public interest, the state has relaxed the lockdown norms. But, that does not mean that we will become carefree. If required in the interest of public health, the government may go for lockdown again, Patnaik said." Highlighting that the rise in coronavirus infections from the USA to Kerala is a matter of concern, Patnaik said, keeping this in mind, people have to be extra careful.

"We shall be in danger even if minor negligence is done, the chief minister said while directing the administration to set up special teams to undertake regular inspections of educational institutions."
