MADIKERI: Following an increase in the number of COVID-19 cases, the Kodagu district administration has tightened the curfew, with essential and other permitted shops remaining open only on Tuesdays and Fridays. A decision in this regard was announced by Kodagu DC Charulata Somal on Monday.
“All essential shops, agriculture shops, liquor shops and take-away facilities at hotels are permitted to function only between 6 am and 12 noon on Tuesdays and Fridays. This will be imposed with immediate effect for the coming two weeks,” stated Charulata.
However, stand-alone milk parlours/booths can remain open from 6 am to 10 am every day and there is no prohibition on supply of newspapers. Medical outlets and petrol bunks are permitted to remain open throughout.
