The J&K administration has taken several measures to ramp up efforts for prevention and control of COVID-19 in the union territory.

The administration has appealed to the public to cooperate fully wherever quarantine is advised.

Officials have been tasked to ensure creation of adequate quarantine, isolation and other requisite facilities besides undertaking adequate measures for surveillance of home quarantined persons.
