COVID-19 cases have risen in Kerala: corpn. commissioner
Commissioner of Mangaluru City Corporation Akshy Sridhar has said that the Health Department should conduct more throat and nasal swab sample tests in the jurisdiction of the corporation to prevent a second wave of COVID-19.
Speaking at a meeting with Health Department officials in the corporation’s office on Saturday, he said that COVID-19 cases have risen in neighbouring Kerala. Hence, the department should get those people entering the city from Kasaragod and other border districts tested compulsorily. It will help prevent the spread of COVID-19.
COVID-19 is likely to spread in market areas, during jatras and other public festivals and in the Bunder area. Hence, traders in those areas should be tested as a precaution.
