To allay the fears of the public, Gujarat Chief Minister Vijay Rupani on Monday said his government does not plan to impose lockdown again in the state.
Dismissing speculations being made on social media platforms about the lockdown, the chief minister urged people not to get carried away by such “unfounded rumours”.
Since June 1, curbs have been eased in the state following which industries, offices, shops, bus, and autorickshaw services have resumed in non-containment zones.

Rupani’s statement came after rumours on social media that his government may impose restrictions again as COVID-19 cases are not decreasing in the state.
For the last 30 days, on an average 400 new coronavirus cases are emerging in the state every day.
Till Sunday, Gujarat reported 23,590 COVID-19 cases and 1,478 deaths due to the viral infection.
