Goa to go under COVID-19 lockdown from today, full list of restrictions imposed in the state
Amid the unprecedented surge in COVID-19 infections in the country, the Goa government announced that the state will be going under lockdown from Thursday (April 29).
Goa Chief Minister Pramod Sawant on Wednesday (April 28) made the announcement which stated that the state government will impose a lockdown from Thursday night till early Monday morning.
The decision comes in the view of rising COVID-19 infections in the state. Goa CM Pramod Sawant announced that the lockdown will start from Thursday (April 29) 7 pm and will remain in place till Monday (May 3) morning.
While addressing the press, the Chief Minister said, “People should not panic. All grocery stores and essential services will be allowed to operate, I also urge migrant labourers not to leave the state.”
“The four day lockdown is to break the chain of the rising number of COVID-19 infections in the state and it is unlikely to be extended,” Chief Minister Pramod Sawant added.
Goa now joins several Indian states including Karnataka, Delhi and Jammu and Kashmir, that have imposed COVID-19 lockdown in the view of rising coronavirus cases.
