The next 15 days are important and Covid restrictions could increase, West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee said.
Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee today told off her brother publicly for "roaming around with a Covid case at home", as the state reported a surge in infections with more than 14,000 cases.
"Charity begins at home," she said, sharing that she felt deeply offended that someone in her own family was violating Covid safety protocol.
The Chief Minister said she would have a virtual meeting with Prime Minister Narendra Modi tomorrow, with the number of daily cases rising to 14,022 and the positivity rate crossing 23 per cent.
"We seem to have forgotten that if you have someone down with Covid at home, you cannot keep moving around. Someone in my house has done it and I am very offended," Ms Banerjee said.
