Udupi, Mar 16: People in Udupi have been warned by the district administration of criminal cases apart from penalty in case of violation of covid-19 restrictions, especially not wearing masks in public places.
Deputy Commissioner G Jagadeesha, who received second dose of covid-19 vaccination at the Ajjarkad district hospital in Udupi today, told media persons that people in the coastal district must take extra precautions in the wake of what is being feared as the beginning of second wave of pandemic in Maharashtra and Kerala.
"These days more number of people are coming from Maharashtra and Kerala to Udupi and neighbouring Dakshina Kannada. Hence if we failed to take precautions, then we will face the consequences,” he said.
"Already Covid testing is being done at border areas before entering the district. If there is no negative report, no one can enter the district border. Covid was hovering around 0.5% since January. Now it has gone up to 1.5 to 1.6 percent.
"Strict action will be taken on those who do not wear masks at public places. If the owner and staff of shops and malls do not follow covid rules, then their trade licence will be cancelled in addition to slapping a fine,” he said.
