Health officials have been instructed to monitor travellers from other countries
The district administration has cautioned commercial establishments to uphold COVID-19 norms and ensure all staff members are vaccinated. With the threat of a new variant of COVID-19 looming large, the administration has strengthened measures for pandemic control.
Collector P. Ramana Saraswathi has instructed businesses, wedding halls, restaurants, vehicle operators, theatres and private schools to ensure that all their staff members are fully vaccinated. The health infrastructure too has been scaled up, she says.
Everyone talks about the Airport Metro, but one look at the pillars and completion seems nowhere in sight.
