00:09 and other officers of the Health Department, and also the members of the Technical Advisory
00:17 Committee, we met today and discussed so many things.
00:22 We have taken a decision that this disease, we need not be panic.
00:29 But precautionary measures will have to be taken.
00:36 Wherever there are groups and gatherings, in such places, everybody should wear mask.
00:56 Mask.
00:59 And the 60 and above years old people, and compulsorily they should wear mask.

01:29 Out of 92, 72 patients are in isolation, quarantine, home isolation.
01:45 Only 20 are in the hospitals.
01:47 Out of 20 patients, 7 are in ICU.
01:55 They are not having the only COVID diseases, other associated diseases are there.
02:07 That is why they are in the ICU.
02:10 So far, 3 persons have died, not because of COVID alone.
02:18 Not because of COVID alone.
