Tripura Chief Minister – Dr Manik Saha today appealed the citizens to strictly adhere by the COVID-19 protocols, in order to prevent further transmission of the infection.
The chief minister’s appeal came a day after the government made the wearing of mask compulsory for people in public places, in view of the spike in COVID cases.
Addressing the mediapersons, Saha asserted that “Wearing a mask is not enough to check Covid infection across the state. I appeal to the people to follow the Covid protocol properly, like maintaining social distance and using sanitizer.”
