Administration plans to ramp up the testing of samples, deploy adequate health staff
After a complete two-day weekend lockdown, Puducherry moved into a week of additional curbs to contain the rapid spread of the second wave of the coronavirus pandemic.
Following a consultative meeting with officials chaired by Lt. Governor Tamilisai Soundararajan, a set of additional curbs were announced to the cut-off time of 2 p.m. for shops and business establishments that had been announced earlier by the State Emergency Operations Centre till April 30.
No inbound movement to Puducherry
On the second day of the complete lockdown in Puducherry, streets across the city wore a deserted look.
At the Morattandi toll gate, the police stopped out-bound travellers and only permitted those with valid reasons to pass through. Since Tamil Nadu was also under a lockdown, there was virtually no inbound movement.
The major fish and meat markets remained shut on account of Mahavir Jayanti. Business was brisk at streetside fish outlets near the harbour.
The Sunday market, not on the list of exempted activities, remained inactive. Only a few tea stalls were open in the city. The lockdown was in force till 5 a.m. on Monday. According to the State Emergency Operations Centre guidelines, shops will function only from 5 a.m. to 2 p.m. from Monday till April 30.

50 ml sanitiser bottle would cost as little as ₹10
Now, masks will be available at Ponlait milk outlets for ₹1 each and 50 ml sanitiser bottles for as little as ₹10 as part of efforts by the administration to make the two most important measures for preventing COVID-19 affordable to a larg section of society.
Launching the programme at Raj Nivas, Lt. Governor Tamilisai Soundararajan singled out the wearing of masks as the most crucial component of COVID-19 prevention.
“While we can scale up stocks of medicines and tests or ramp up bed capacity, the simplest way to contain the pandemic remains compliance with masking norms. This is why a supply chain for delivering masks and sanitisers at prices that are much lower than the market rates is being rolled out,” the Lt. Governor said.
