Bhubaneswar: Amid coronavirus threat, the Odisha government on Thursday asked all collectors to restrict entry of general public into religious places, including temples, mosques, churches and gurudwaras, in their respective districts from Friday (March 20).
Essential rituals at these places of worship will, however, continue.
Earlier in the day, the Shree Jagannath Temple Administration had imposed similar restrictions on devotee visiting the Jagannath Temple in Puri for ‘darshan’ of the Lords.
