According to the order signed by the Chief Secretary of the Union Territory, “Covid-19 appropriate behavior / rules should be strictly followed.”
This order from the Government of Jammu and Kashmir comes after it was observed that the cases of corona in the Union Territory are fluctuating and there is a need to continue to follow the existing prevention measures of Covid-19 in all the districts.
