While appealing the general public to follow Covid Appropriate Behavior (CAB) strictly, she said that Covid pandemic is not over yet adding that it has been observed that people are seen without observing social distancing and wearing face masks especially at tourist spots viz. Manasbal and Sonamarg that remain over-crowded during weekend days due to which the positivity rate has increased in the district.She said that to regulate the crowd at these tourist destinations, the joint teams have been constituted.The DC again appealed to the people of the district to continue following CAB besides wearing facemasks, to avoid unnecessary gatherings in markets and other public places.
