The Odisha government on Thursday made 14-day quarantine mandatory for people entering the state from Bengal and asked district collector of Balasore, Mayurbhanj, to put up border checkposts on all inter-state roads along the Bengal border with immediate effect.
In a notification, the Odisha special relief commissioner asked district administrations to ensure border tracking for all entry points for people coming from Bengal. “...Police arrangements may be made for tracking. Anyone coming to Odisha from Bengal by personal or hired vehicles or entering the state in any other mode will have to undergo mandatory institutional or paid quarantine for 14 days,” it said.
