Terming it a cause of concern, he, in a tweet, said that his government is "monitoring the situation closely" and "though the situation in Goa is under control, the fight against pandemic is not over".
"I appeal to the people to stay alert to the situation and avoid mass gatherings, follow all norms such as social distancing, wearing masks and using sanitizers. Also requesting citizens to not fall prey to rumours of lockdown," he also said.
There are currently 587 active Covid-19 cases in Goa, according to official statistics.
The Goa government is mulling bringing in inter-state restrictions in wake of an increase of Covid-19 cases in Maharashtra.
