This week kicked off in celebratory style with “Goa has become Corona free as on 19th April 2020" emblazoned across full-page advertisements in every newspaper.
Goa’s chief minister Pramod Sawant posted on Twitter: “A moment of satisfaction and relief as the last active Covid-19 case tests negative.
Team of Doctors and entire support staff deserves applause for their relentless effort. No new positive case in Goa after 3rd April 2020." And just like that, lockdown controls were lifted, government offices reopened, and streams of traffic poured onto the roads as tens of thousands of workers returned to their accustomed routines.
