State government makes negative Covid report mandatory for all fishermen

The second wave of Covid-19 changed fishing rules this year. The state government on Tuesday ordered only 15 fishermen per trawler and made it mandatory for those going into the sea to have a negative Covid report or a  full-vaccination certificate. Advertisement Covid risk to fishermen cooped up on trawlers was a worry for the government before allowing marine fishing this year, a fisheries official said. Around 1,500 vessels from fishing harbours in Kakdwip, Namkhana, Raidighi, and Diamond Harbour in South 24-Parganas and over 1,000 vessels from Digha, Petuaghat (Contai), Sankarpur and a few other places in East Midnapore ventured into the sea at the end of the annual ban on Tuesday only after adhering to Covid protocols laid down by the state government.
