Earlier in the day, Health Services Director Bijay Mohapatra had said that though the spread of the virus is a matter of concern, it does not warrant the imposition of lockdown or shutdown at present.
Notably, Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik stressed micro-containment strategy instead of lockdown to contain the spread of the virus after a review meeting on Tuesday.
