These infected areas should be opened to the public only after completion of the 14-day period while following the prescribed guide lines. Citizens of these areas should strictly follow measures to prevent infection. Chouhan instructed that Corona Command Control Centres should be made more efficient. Collectors should review the centres regularly. In view of the present circumstances, officers and employees working in these centres should be trained.

Awareness should be increased by adopting such innovations. A team of specialist doctors was sent to Sagar district headquarters on the instructions of Chief Minister Chouhan.
