He further said though the number of COVID-19 positive cases in Ganjam has come down considerably, people have to be cautious for the pandemic situation till the discovery of the vaccine to contain it.

“We can’t rule out the possibilities of the second wave of COVID-19 in Ganjam. Wearing masks, washing hands with sanitiser at regular interval, keeping away from crowded places, maintaining social distance and other precautions can only help us prevent the second wave of the pandemic and its further contamination,” said Kulange.
