Patna Jan 4 (IANS): Bihar cabinet minister Jibesh Kumar on Tuesday said that imposing lockdown was not possible every time and people should understand this problem and 'live with corona'.

"Covid-19 is changing its nature. First corona came into the world and then Delta variant and now Omicron. No one knows when this will stop. Hence, lockdown cannot be imposed every time. We have to adjust to the current circumstances and live in accordance with the situation," Kumar said.

His statement comes at a time when Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar is expected to take a decision on partial lockdown on Tuesday evening. The CM has called for the crisis management meeting on Tuesday evening to make a decision on the current situation.
