“No matter who the person is, all coming from abroad must go through tests – 95,000 people have come into Kolkata over the last one week,” she said.
In this context, Ms Banerjee said, “Over the next two weeks, all of us in the city and state will have to be extra cautious.”
“I do not like the use of office to avoid going through testing and self-declaration. This has been done, and it is very wrong and has led to panic in some sections. This is a very irresponsible act and govt will be forced to take action,” the chief minister said.
“Action will also be taken against those saying gomutra will cure you of Coronavirus,” she said.
Ms Banerjee today attended an event organised by the Kolkata Municipal Corporation. There she inaugurated various government services and spoke about being cautious about the Coronavirus for the next two weeks.
Speaking on the occasion, she said fund for these projects from MP-MLA local area funds.
The chief minister said several rumours – some misleading reports are being spread by the media. Request media to desist from this “Some professions have to go to work – doctors, conservancy,journalists, people’s representatives – for all, maintain standard precautions, keep safe distance, wash hands, avoid touch, etc,” shesaid.
Ms Banerjee said shift/roster duties to be introduced at Nabanna – 11am instead of 10am; 4pm instead 5pm.
