Faridabad district has reported 46 coronavirus cases and is closely behind other worst-hit districts Gurgaon (51) and Nuh (57).
Earlier, Haryana's Home Minister Anil Vij had said that the state's borders with Delhi were "sealed" with essential services allowed but stricter restrictions imposed on those coming in from the national capital.
Vij had said that many of the coronavirus cases in NCR districts, including Sonipat, Gurgaon and Faridabad, have been found to have contracted infection from the national capital.
He said that daily movement of the employees working in Delhi to their residences in Haryana increases the risk of spreading COVID-19. SUN VSD SNESNESNE
