Time for central govt to reflect on more measures to check coronavirus: Chidambaram

New Delhi: While expressing satisfaction at the measures taken by the Central Government against coronavirus, senior Congress leader and former Home Minister P Chidambaram on Sunday said that it is time for Central Government to reflect on more measures to check the spread of the virus.

In a series of tweets, Mr Chidambaram said, ‘The battle against coronavirus has been ‘so far, good’, but can we do more? Positive COVID-19 cases have jumped from 31 to 84 in one week. Some State governments have announced partial lockdowns. Time for Central Government to reflect on more measures.’

‘Time to take note of the warning of ICMR. If we have a 30-day window to prevent the spread of the virus to Stage 3, we should move faster and with determination,’ the Congress leader said.

The number of coronavirus cases in the country has risen to nearly 100 in the last one week.
