Punjab health
and family welfare minister Balbir Singh Sidhu blamed the national capital for
the rise in Covid- 19 cases in Ludhiana, Jalandhar, and Amritsar.
He said that the
state is paying the price due to the influx of positive patients from Delhi after
the lockdown was lifted.
“When there were
restrictions on inter-state travel we had a limited number of commuters but
ever since the restrictions have been lifted there is a sudden spurt in the
number of cases,” said Sidhu.
