JAMMU, Aug 30: Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) J&K Executive Member Raman Suri has appealed to general public of Jammu to cooperate with health authorities of the Union Territory (UT) of Jammu and Kashmir in conducting rapid COVID-19 tests in different localities, bazars and shopping centres, so that enhanced data collected could help people isolate themselves and make sure that graph of pandemic is flattened as soon as possible. This will also help in containing the community spread of virus.
Raman Suri said, now that the government has decided to allow home quarantine all asymptomatic COVID-19 positive cases in Jammu province with conditions, people must come forward and get themselves tested in all localities as scheduled by government.
