The CM made the comment at a meeting, a day after the daily infection count in the state crossed the 7,000-mark, the highest single-day rise since the outbreak of the pandemic last year.
Punjab Chief Minister Amarinder Singh in Chandigarh on Monday said he is against the imposition of a coronavirus lockdown even as he predicted that the pandemic situation is expected to get worse in the state. The CM made the comment at a meeting, a day after the daily infection count in the state crossed the 7,000-mark, the highest single-day rise since the outbreak of the pandemic last year. The CM said the situation is expected to worsen, especially in south Punjab, where Ludhiana district alone reported 1,300-plus cases on Sunday. According to a statement, the CM said while stringent measures are being taken to tackle the surge in cases, he is not "proposing" a lockdown in the state as it leads to economic problems and the exodus of migrant workers.
