The latest and new covid-19 cases he indicated are being recorded from such gatherings and it is an indication for the country to reintroduce the restrictions.

According to the source, he further called for the reintroduction of localized restrictions in hotspots or areas where the cases are spreading more.

“We need to immediately reintroduce restrictions on all wedding, parties, funerals, and other events. We cannot allow this to continue. We should also not hesitate to introduce localized restrictions, ” he added.
