A day after ordering more state-wide curbs, Punjab Chief Minister Amarinder Singh on Monday warned he will be forced to consider a total lockdown if people do not follow restrictions and the COVID-19 situation does not improve. He said he will not allow Punjab to go the way of some other states where patients can be seen, according to him, lying on the road. On Sunday, his government ordered the closure of all shops not selling essential commodities, barred over 50 per cent attendance at government offices and made a coronavirus-negative report or a vaccination certificate mandatory for people entering the state.
