Officials attribute the rise to inter-State public movement
Chittoor district on Wednesday has recorded 1,822 COVID-19 cases, and one casualty, taking the district’s active caseload to 9,919, the highest in the State.
The Tirupati and Chittoor municipal corporations registered 715 cases, the municipality of Srikalahasti recorded 76, followed by Madanapalle with 66 cases, Puttur, 40 and Palamaner, 37. Of the 65 mandals in the rural side, 63 mandals recorded as many as 860 cases.
Attributing the disturbing scenario to unchecked public movement across the inter-State borders and large-scale violation of the COVID-appropriate behaviour, the officials on COVID duties have intensified steps to enforce the protocols at public places.
