The administration had decided to restrict gathering of people in public places from 12 p.m to 5 p.m starting Saturday night.
The territorial administration has decided to impose a fine of Rs 100 for those not wearing mask in public places from Saturday, Lieutenant Governor Tamilisai Soundararajan said on Friday.
The Union and State governments provided support in several ways to the needy people, but private institutions should also extend help, especially to those requiring medical assistance, said C.P. Rajkumar, Managing Director, Nalam Multispeciality Hospital, here on Saturday. Speaking at a function to honour Inspector General of Police V. Balakrishnan and neurologist S. Meenakshisundaram with C. Palaniappan Memorial Award for their contribution to society and Nalam Kappom medical adoption of Type-1 diabetic children, he said the governments implemented numerous welfare programmes, but the timely help by a private hospital or a doctor in the neighbourhood to the people in need would go a long way in safeguarding their lives.
