The district, for the first time ever since the pandemic outbreak in March 2020, clocked 826 cases on Tuesday.
Of them, 413 are from the corporation area and 413 from other parts of the district. The district has so far lost 230 lives to the viral infection. Only about 40% of the people properly wear masks and maintain physical distancing while coming out of their houses.
“The number of teams booking violators should be increased. Only stringent enforcement of laws can check the increase in cases. The present fine of ₹200 for not wearing mask should be increased five times. Only then the violators will start following the norms,” said a Sub-Inspector of Police.
