As part of measures to contain the spread of COVID-19, the administration has strengthened border surveillance at several check points to ensure that only those who have had at least one dose of the COVID-19 vaccine are allowed entry.
After chairing a meeting of officials of the Revenue, Police, Health, Labour and Local Administration Departments, District Collector E. Vallavan said surveillance teams would be constituted to ensure that only vaccinated people are allowed entry and to detect those with symptoms.
Hotels/lodges shall bring in necessary changes to the booking system to ensure that only vaccinated people are accommodated on their premises, the Collector said.
