Cluster with over five cases to be declared containment zones
The Hindu
If there are clusters of five or more cases of COVID-19 in hostels, boarding facilities or educational institutions, such places should be declared containment zones by the local health authorities and special surveillance measures should be initiated, said a circular issued from the Health Department on Saturday.
This apart, on the lines of restrictions earlier imposed on travellers from Kerala, the department has made it mandatory for those arriving from Maharashtra and checking into hotels, resorts, hostels, or homestays and dormitories to compulsorily produce a negative RT-PCR certificate that is not older than 72 hours. Owners of such places should ensure that the occupants produce a negative RT-PCR certificate, stated the circular.
