Mardi said that people who will enter the state from red zone areas will be kept in institutional quarantine. If their coronavirus results are found negative after six to seven days then these people will be allowed to go home where they will be kept in quarantine.
He said that many people are violating home quarantine norms and have been advised to obey the orders.
