Rise In COVID Cases: Odisha Govt Advises People With Fever & Cold To Celebrate Zero Night At Home

Bhubaneswar: With COVID-19 cases slowly rising in Odisha, the state government on Saturday advised people showing symptoms of fever, cold, and cough to refrain from venturing out for zero-night celebration.

Stating that people should avoid visiting crowded places and wear a mask, Public Health Director Niranjan Mishra said people should celebrate New Year at their home.

Especially those showing symptoms of cold, cough and fever should avoid visiting crowded places for new year celebrations, he said, adding that these people should confine themselves to their homes and celebrate zero-night indoors.
