From June 10 to 14, these gramme panchayats will be completely shut down “G Jagadeesh, the district deputy commissioner, made the announcement.

The district administration has been paying frequent visits to the gramme panchayat. We’re advising the PDOs on how to keep Covid at bay at the panchayat level. The isolation of the residences has also aided in the containment of the sickness. On a daily basis, 3,500 tests are performed he said

There are beds and ventilators available. We intend to manufacture oxygen at the district level as well. Because children may be at risk in the third wave of Covid, we have held discussions with specialists about how to prepare for it. To counteract the third wave, the health infrastructure and necessary facilities will be updated,” he stressed.
