With Chandigarh’s Covid-19 cases inching closer to the 19,000 mark, the UT administration on Thursday declared nine new micro-containment zones.
UT adviser Manoj Parida said the issue of the Covid-19 outbreak was examined by a committee and a considered view emerged that the affected areas be declared as micro-containment zones. These include parts of Sectors 7, 15, 20, 23, 26, 35-A, 46 and 63, besides Dadumajra Colony.
Parida said regular screening and monitoring of these areas will continue. As many as six micro-containment zones were declared on December 11 as well.
