We have this fear. And because there is, the Directorate of Health is repeatedly emphasizing the restrictions. '
He added, ‘Indian variants of Corona have been identified in the country. There are concerns about this all over the country. If we can deal with it without fear, it will be possible to maintain the current stable situation. People from India have to strictly ensure 14 days of institutional quarantine.
