Review meetings held in districts and officials act tough on violators
Besides organising special drives to test the public for COVID-19 infection to ensure early medical intervention, steps have been taken to boost the immunity of the people against the viral infection by giving them allopathic and siddha formulations, Secretary for Higher Education and Monitoring Officer for Tirunelveli district M. Apoorva said. Speaking to reporters after discussing the pandemic situation in the district with Collector V. Vishnu and other senior officials on Saturday, Ms. Apoorva informed that 5-pronged strategy – creating awareness, making the public to wear mask and ensure physical distancing by slapping fine on violators, vaccination, treatment and strengthening the immunity of the public – was discussed in the meeting. Against the backdrop of menacingly increasing COVID-19 cases, it had been decided to put in place tough measures not to trouble the public, but to save them from the new viral infection.More Related News
