The minister said a team was sent by him to Gurugram to study the increasing cases of the corona, why the cases are increasing in Gurugram and the report of this study is yet to come.
“But at present, as a precaution, it has been made mandatory to apply face masks in four districts of Gurugram, Faridabad, Sonipat, and Jhajjar adjacent to Delhi, and the one who does not wear the mask will be fined,” he added.
Vij said areas of Gurugram where the cases of Covid-19 are coming are being identified and different teams have been formed to tackle the same. This apart, samples have been sent to Rohtak to know the variant of Corona, according to which further preparations will be made. “We are fully prepared, our staff is ready, our equipment, beds, and oxygen are adequate”, but people should be alert this time,” he added.
After several states had decided to lift all the pandemic-related restrictions, including the mandatory wearing of face masks, the Haryana government had on 3 April notified that wearing face masks in public places and workplaces was no longer mandatory.
