Bhubaneswar: Expressing concern over the rise in the number of COVID-19 cases in Odisha with the return of some people who had attended the Tablighi Jamaat at Nizamuddin in New Delhi, Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik on Saturday requested the returnees to immediately contact the state government.
The CM has requested them to come dial the toll-free number 104 and register for medical test within 24 hours as delaying the process will put them and their family at risk.
