Today there was PM’s VC with CMs. Only 9 states were allowed to speak. We were not allowed still we attended the VC. Central govt is issuing notifications suddenly without consulting the states.

We have decided those who have homes to isolate them, we will allow them to isolate themselves at home, and then that means we don’t have to use officials to bring them to quarantine. Home quarantine is model quarantine. Those who want to get treated by staying at their homes, we will allow them. We have not got any monetary help from the Centre to fight COVID-19.
