The municipal Party Chief ordered the functional units to strengthen contact tracing to quickly identify persons making close contact with Covid-19 patients and impose a severe fine to all the flouters of coronavirus prevention rules.
The famous tourist city has recorded 182 infections since late April as the fourth coronavirus wave hit the country.
