“High number of containment zones having multiple cases is a cause of worry. It indicates Covid spread among families and neighbours. This trend is more visible in city areas. It also indicated that the virus is spreading fast. Containment is one of the best strategies to curb Covid spread,” HT quoted Dr VB Jindal, former president of Indian Medical Association (Ghaziabad) as saying.
