Speaking after the Cabinet meeting and responding to a question on whether new cases had been recorded today, the minister said, “yes, of course”.

Asked by a journalist whether the cases were located on the edge of the 10-kilometre zone, the minister replied that they are within the designated zone.

“This will certainly require us to review the circles we are forming and the boundaries around the area. However, the cases are within the area that had initially been identified as a potentially infected zone and within the area we aim to contain,” she added.
