West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Wednesday hinted at bringing back COVID curbs in the State amid the threat of a possible third wave of the pandemic looming large, including shutting down educational institutions and identifying containment zones.
Ms. Banerjee, during an administrative review meeting at Sagar Island, asked officials concerned to review the overall pandemic situation in the State.
“COVID-19 cases are on the rise; there are a few omicron infections, too. So, a review of the situation is required. If the numbers keep increasing, we may consider closing down schools and colleges,” she said.
