There is panic in Maharashtra (and some neighbouring States) because of a steep rise in the the number of Corona cases in the state.
Side by side is a cautionary message from none than the prime minister on the need for states to take quick and decisive steps to stop a second Coronavirus peak or wave from emerging by testing, tracking and treating all cases. Further apparently, our government feigns concern, but rules out Covid curbs.
Most of the neighbouring States have ensured restriction of interstate movement, making Covid certificates or testing mandatory before crossing the state borders.
Many nations have gone into lockdown once again.
In contrast, the Government of Goa pays lip service, declaring that it is concerned over these developments in the neighbouring States, but is stopping short of taking concrete decisions, and actions, such as imposing restrictions and mandating covid certificates and testing for those entering Goa.
Are the people of Goa to conclude that although the government apparently admits is concerned about the increasing incidence of Covid in and around Goa, it does not concider it appropriate to take concrete steps to protect the people of state as has been urged by none other than our honorable prime minister.
