The recent directions were issued after Chief Minister Amarinder Singh held a review meeting, where he said people coming from Jammu and Himachal Pradesh would be closely monitored.
According to an official statement, Singh expressed his concern about the positivity rate in Himachal Pradesh and other parts of the country, which has marginally increased Punjab's positivity rate to 0.2 per cent last week.
Cases are likely to double in the next 64 days, which is why Singh warned people to be vigilant, and announced new restrictions in addition to the ones already in place.
Chief Minister directed the health department to conduct priority sentinel tests for passengers in private and government hospitals, entry points, industries and colonies, government offices, etc. He said that based on this, the districts should make a strategy for the micro-containment zone.
