“Today we have ZERO ACTIVE COVID cases. Obviously credit goes to Guidance & support from CMO, hard work by Team Ganjam, our doctors, all COVID warriors. Now we have to be more responsible and alert to avoid new infections”, he said in another tweet.

Earlier on Saturday, the Ganjam administration issued standard operating procedures (SOP) to ensure strict implementation of Covid appropriate behaviour to prevent resurgence of the disease.
