In an interview with BBC talking about the success of Kerala in containing the coronavirus spread in the state, KK Shailaja refers to Goa as ‘Union Territory’ and states that there are no sufficient hospitals in the Union Territory of Goa.

Goa became of state of India on May 30th, 1987.  Goa will complete 33-years of statehood in 2020.
