With Karnataka announcing a 14-day lockdown starting Tuesday night, the border districts of Krishnagiri and neighbouring Dharmapuri are expected to see a large number of migrants from Karnataka returning to their villages.
A large number of youth from Dharmapuri are employed in Karnataka.
With the lockdown announced on Monday in the neighbouring State, the Health Department is anticipating a spike in COVID-19 cases because of the return of a large number of migrant workers.
Soon after the nationwide lockdown was announced last year, there was a flurry of migrant workers crossing the Karnataka-Tamil Nadu border on foot.
