Minister Kota Srinivasa Poojari on Friday said lockdown may once again become inevitable in the border district of Kodagu if the test positivity rate that currently stands at 2.81%, crosses 5%. Because of its proximity with Kerala, the district is at risk and therefore officials must strengthen vigil at the border check-posts, he added. Speaking after reviewing the COVID-19 situation with Kodagu being identified as one of the high-risk districts in view of the spike in Kerala, the Minister told the district administration to consider installing CCTVs at the check-posts for ensuring stringent checks with cases surging in Kerala causing fears of an impending third wave.More Related News
