In view of the surge in Covid cases, the government today decided to monitor all inter-state movement into the state through the registration on the e-Covid software.

The Disaster Management Cell of the Revenue Department issued the order which says that the movement into the state will be monitored through the registration on the e-registration software (http://covid19epass.hp.gov.in). The total number of active cases in the state has risen to 2,733 within the last fortnight with an average of 300 new cases being reported daily.

However, all goods carriers and the movement of goods or cargo for inland and exports are exempted from the restrictions.

Children below the age of 18 years, if accompanied by their parents who are either carrying their RT-PCR report or final vaccine certificates, will also be exempted.

Industrialists, traders, suppliers, factory workers, project proponents, service providers, government officials and the people, who intend to commute for medical purposes for entering and exiting the state (within 72 hours) will remain exempted from the condition.

Meanwhile, there was no positive case in 825 samples sent to Tanda medical college on Monday from Una.

Chief Medical Officer Raman Kumar Sharma said the number of active cases in the district had also come down to 20. He, however, said the department was alert.

The CMO said an intensive vaccination campaign was under way in the district.
