Two areas in Nanjikottai panchayat on the outskirts of Thanjavur Corporation have been sealed after they were declared as containment zones to prevent the spread of COVID-19. While a total of 24 persons tested positive for COVID-19 at North Street, 46 persons were found infected with the deadly virus at Koothancheri and Innathukanpatti in Nanjikottai panchayat. Subsequently, these areas have been declared as containment zones and sealed with stern directions to all shopkeepers in the area to keep the shutters down until further instructions. The residents of these areas have been advised to stay indoors and to follow the Standard Operating Procedures laid down by the State government to prevent further spread of the novel coronavirus, according to village panchayat president Sathyaraj.
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.
