Shimla, June 4
The Himachal Pradesh government has succeeded in checking community spread of COVID-19 by ensuring institutional quarantine for returnees to the state from various red zones across the country, Chief Minister Jai Ram Thakur said on Thursday.
Talking to media here, he said there was only one active case during the first week of May which has now risen to 206 after the return of 1.70 lakh state natives.
The state government spent Rs 4 crore for bringing back 51,015 stranded Himachalis to the state by arranging 2,200 buses and 13 trains. PTI
