People should take care, festivals will continue, says minister

The Art and Culture Minister, Govind Gaude on Monday said entertainment programmes will continue to be organised but people should take precautions for their own safety.



The Art and Culture Minister  said  the season of  cultural activities has begun and people should take precaution  to safeguard their health. The corona virus is rapidly infecting people throughout the country. The WHO had spoken about 5% infection margin as being relatively safe to open up. However, in many states including Goa the infection rate is hovering on the 10+ %.  

Once again there is talk about a lockdown, though Goa does not seem to be in immediate danger of that unless the administration's covid management policy completely collapses. However, reminiscing about the first lockdown, the minister  said that his department did not experience any difficulty in distributing foodgrains as there was sufficient stock with the government.
