The civil surgeons have also been asked to ensure increased testing.

The Haryana Government, earlier this week, made wearing masks mandatory in districts falling in the National Capital Region. The Chandigarh administration has also asked people to wear masks at crowded places.

In a separate order, the government said, “The Covid control room shall be managed by the Department of Health and Family Welfare. The department shall keep a strict vigil on the situation and shall request the Department of Personnel for deputing senior officers as and when it becomes necessary.”
