As Goa opens its accounts with 03 COVID-19 positive cases, details like their travel history, when
they were tested would be interesting and nobody should hide these facts. Th
estate’s prepardness for the remedial measures now becomesthe focus and govt
should come clear on these.
Porvorim MLA Rohan Kahute Tweets:
I pray for the speedy recovering of the patients who have
tested positive for COVID-19. While th egovt needs to move fast to stop the
spread of coronavirus, we also need to buckle up on testing more cases to avoid
cases of community transmission. To contain further spread, govt must reveal
details of travel history and area of residence of the patients so that Goans
in those areas cantake precautions and get tested if they have any systoms. I
urge everyone to stay intheir houses till the situation is under control!
