KOHIMA, APRIL 20 (MExN): The Nagaland Government has issued urgent measures for preventing the spread of COVID-19 in the State.

The Home Department issued a notice advising all District Task Forces (DTF) to urgently convene meetings, and after studying the COVID-19 situation as existing in their respective districts, and taking into account other relevant local factors, consider taking several measures.

The measures include restricting the assembly of 4 or more persons from 7:00pm to 5:00am in urban areas; opening of markets on alternate days especially in crowded areas; and allowing plying of vehicles with odd and even registered numbers on alternate days in urban areas.

The DTFs have also been directed to identify any person on arrival from outside the State and instruct such persons to immediately report to the DTF. They must also ensure that such persons remain in self-isolation for 10 days if no negative RT-PCR/ TrueNat/CBNAAT test report for COVID-19 (test done not earlier than 72 hours prior to entry into the State) is produced on arrival, or if the test result is awaited, or if the person concerned hasn’t completed the COVID-19 vaccination

It further directed the DTF to inform all the residents for strict observance of COVID appropriate behaviours including avoiding crowded places and to encourage all eligible persons to avail the COVID-19 vaccination.

Other measures include enforcement of compulsory wearing of face masks; to check gathering of crowds beyond permissible limit; and to start random screening tests in all high risk settings as advised by the Health & Family Welfare Department.
