Panaji: With the Goa government setting up the state's second containment zone in the remote Ghodemal village of North Goa district after a number of coronavirus cases were reported from there, Chief Minister Pramod Sawant on Saturday urged the people not to be afraid of these 'zones' which are formed to map the local transmission of the deadly virus and prevent the contagion from spreading.
"There is no need to fear formation of containment zones. It is a means to make people aware and alert, so that people don't come in contact with these areas," Sawant said.
The Chief Minister also said that a majority of the state's 394 active COVID-19 cases were asymptomatic and that only eight hospitalised patients required medical treatment to combat the infection.
