"Due to Covid lockdown restriction in the last one month, the positivity rate of the virus infection has come down to 26% to 14%. In many western Odisha districts, the infection level has come down sharply," said Chief Secretary Suresh Chandra Mohapatra while announcing the extension of the lockdown on Sunday.
"Towards the end of the 16-day lockdown, the situation will be reviewed once again and if more districts exhibit a decline in the trend of Covid cases, phase-wise relaxations will be allowed accordingly in such districts," he had said.
