Ashok Gehlot, CM, Rajasthan :

The new strain of novel coronavirus emerging in the UK is a matter of great concern.

Govt of India must take prompt action, prepare a contingency plan to contain the same & also immediately ban all flights from the UK & other European countries.

When coronavirus had started spreading, we were late in banning international flights, which had led to a drastic spike in cases.

India needs both a preparedness plan as well as steps to restrict any movement from affected country or countries.

Our medical experts must be ready with a treatment plan in case of any outbreak of the new strain of virus. Health protocols must be adhered to even more strictly.
