Panaji, Jan 03: Health Minister Vishwajit Rane has said that "We need to be cautious as a state. We want people of Goa to be safe. Business activities should continue, but people need to exercise caution. Goa is not a banana republic." He has appealed to tourists to take precautions against coronavirus.
He told that despite repeated appeals to wear masks and practise social distancing, people have not been taking precautions. He mentioned that due to New year celebrations there might be spike in infections in January.
Minister said "Tourists should realise that although they are here to enjoy, they must follow safety measures. I saw that 60 per cent of the people at the airport were not wearing masks."
