Amid the massive spike in COVID-19 cases in Chandigarh, the Union Territory administration said that a lockdown can t be ruled out if cases continue to rise. As quoted by news agency ANI, Manoj Parida, the adviser to Chandigarh Administrator on being asked if lockdown can be imposed in Chandigarh said, If the situation becomes very critical and numbers (of COVID cases) go very high, this option can t be ruled out. At a point, we had reduced daily cases to 20, which has now gone up to 350-400 cases. Primarily, this is due to the number of tests we re conducting. So far, we ve conducted 3 lakh tests against a population of 12 lakh, he added.
