He also gave a detailed overview of Covid situation in J&K including Trends of daily cases, testing & positivity percentage; Covid testing capacities; case fatality rate; recovery rate; weekly cases per million population; District wise level of transmission; Tests were done in last 7 days; Age-wise Deaths Audit; Contact tracing etc.
A comparative analysis was also done during the meeting to get a clear picture of the district-wise level of transmission rate registered during pre-Corona curfew and Corona curfew days.

The police department was directed to ensure strictly enforcement of restrictions in areas with a high number of positive cases.
In order to break the transmission chain of the virus, it was decided that 50 % of staff in government departments would attend offices as per duty rosters and their movement would be strictly through passes during the Corona Curfew.
