Chief Minister informed that triple lockdown has been implemented in coastal areas to contain the spread of the pandemic. He also announced that a special action plan has been prepared to prevent the spread of the disease in coastal areas.Currently, there are 51 clusters including two large community clusters in the state.

Intensive efforts are being made to detect contact and infection in these areas. The reverse quarantine and awareness drive is also being implemented. An integrated programme of establishing First-line Treatment Centers, seeking the cooperation of leaders of various sections of the society and public, and providing the best quarantine facilities have been worked out.“If the rate of increase in the number of patients continues to rise, we will have a hard time. The need for ICUs, ventilators and other facilities may increase as those who need reverse quarantine become more susceptible to infection. The health department is making the arrangements with the support of all departments, including Disaster Management and Police”, he said.
