Chandigarh COVID tally rises to 304 after it reports 2 new cases; UT Adviser asks people to not bring kids to Sukhna Lake
The total number of coronavirus cases in Chandigarh has increased to 304 after two new positive cases were reported from the Bapu Dham colony in Sector 26 on Friday. The two new cases include two children of age 10-year-old and 3-year-old, who were admitted to GMSH-16.
According to the information, both of them are the family contact of another corona positive case. With two new cases, the active cases of coronavirus in the Union Territory have spiked to 77.
Meanwhile, the Chandigarh Adviser Manoj Parida has expressed concern over people bringing minor children for an outing to Sukhna Lake. He also hinted at the use of police force to educate the Chandigarhians. "It was sad to see educated people bringing small kids to the Sukhna Lake," Parida said in a tweet.
"I really don't mind these stupid adults 'early departure', with smiling face through the corona, but risking young innocent lives of future generations is criminal. Plan to use police to drill sense in their head. What say?" he added.

"Sir, you can't call a parent of a stupid or criminal mind. Every parent knows very well about the safety and well-being of their kids while going outside and in-home as well. They are not stupid. Sorry, but your statement is not appreciated," someone replied.
