Significant events since the morning of April 29th
After a long struggle, the Gujarat government finally stopped testing with the Rapid Kit
After a long struggle, the Gujarat government has finally stopped testing with the Rapid Kit. The use of Rapid Test Kit has been discontinued after testing 8900 in the state. Most of the patients tested negative from the kit ordered from China. The central government had decided to stop the testing due to inconclusive results. It is to be noted that in many districts of Gujarat, tests have been done with Rapid Kit and those districts were declared Corona Free. As a result, the government and the health department are in a dilemma.
If there is more than one person on a two wheeler and more than two people in the car, the vehicle will be impounded

Sitting in a car with more than two people can cause a transition. If there is more than one person in the two wheeler and more than two people in the car, the vehicle will be confiscated. People in the green zone area also need to be vigilant. Concessions may be revoked as part of precaution where the transition is high. As well as action will be taken where social distance is not maintained. Shops other than essential items were allowed to open in Panchmahal, but a strict lockdown has been ordered in Panchmahal where social distance is not maintained and an SRP team has been dispatched.
