Speaking on the occasion, MLA, Mihirkanti Shome said that the people released from their 14days long quarantined period should not consider themselves as patients under any circumstances. He asked them to go to their respective homes and stay for another 14 more days separately. He also requested them to maintain social distancing of one metre and maintain cleanliness at their home,  as it is pertinent to mention here that according to the new guidelines of Indian Medical Association, the quarantine period has been extended by the government for a total of 28 days. MLA Shome wished all of them good health and a better disease-free life.

Dr. Ajit Kumar, District Surveillance Officer, wished the  good health and well-being during the current month of Ramadan so that they can stay in their homes separately for 14 more days and maintain cleanliness. Dr Bhattacharya said that people should use hand sanitizers at their home but they should keep this out of reach of the children and as it is inflammable by nature so if it is exposed to fire, accidents can happen. So utmost care should be taken while using hand sanitizer at home. He wished all the people belonging to the Muslim community a happy Ramadan.
