Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel taking serious concern about reports of seven new Covid-19 cases in Korba district’s Katghora on Thursday, directed the city authorities to test each and every person for the novel coronavirus pathogen.
As Katghora has emerged as a hotspot for the contagious disease, the Chief Minister instructed the district administration for being extra cautious and to seal off the entire region.
The CM also instructed the district authorities to set up a special task force, which will exclusively work to control the deadly menace in the region.
“There might be more affected people in the region and hence detecting them and isolating them will be the priority in order to control and combat the disease,” he said.
“The news of the detection of seven new Covid-19 cases in Katghora region is alarming but we are well prepared to tackle the situation,” the chief minister said.
