Wayanad steps up measures at checkposts

Inter-State travellers must register on e-Jagratha portal, produce RT-PCR test result

The Wayanad district administration has intensified steps in the areas bordering Karnataka and Tamil Nadu to contain the spread of COVID-19. District Collector Adeela Abdulla directed the travellers from other States to register on the e-Jagratha portal and produce RT-PCR test results, done in 48 hours, at the border checkposts to enter the State. If they failed to produce the test result, either they could undergo the test at the testing centres to be set up on the checkposts or go for 14 days’ compulsory home quarantine, Ms. Abdulla said. But it was mandatory for the workers in trucks, taxis and inter-State buses to produce the RT-PCR test results to cross the border, she said.
