Goa may invoke Epidemic Act if flu doesn’t abate globally by Oct: Rane
TNN
PANAJI: Goa will invoke the Epidemic Control Act, 1897 if the swine flu pandemic doesn’t abate by September-end, health minister Vishwajit Rane
said on Wednesday. “Before the tourism season starts, we will review the worldwide situation and if it doesn’t improve, we will invoke ECA,” said Rane.
Rane’s announcement comes a day after the Maharashtra government invoked the act in Pune and Satara districts. “Maharashtra invoked it because there are thousands of international guests arriving at its (Mumbai) airport. We don’t feel it is required in Goa at the moment, but once the tourist season starts we will receive many international tourists,” said Rane.
