NT Correspondent | NT

Mysuru: District health officer Dr PC Kumaraswamy on Sunday said district health authorities are closely monitoring the Covid 19 situation across the district in view of a surge in Covid cases in neighbouring Kerala.

In a press release, he said that the district has not registered any fresh cases of the new Covid-19 variant.

His department has taken all precautionary measures and made all preparations to contain the spread of the infection after a high alert put on by State health authorities.

Even State health and family welfare minister Dinesh Gundurao has issued a statement in this regard.

There is no need to screen the people coming from Kerala state at the Mysuru- Kerala inter state border by deploying district health authorities staff as such a situation has not arisen now.

There is no need for the public to panic following the rise in cases in the neighbouring state, he said.

People having Covid symptoms like fever, cough, sore throat and loss of taste and smell have been requested to undergo RT -PCR Tests at the nearest health centre.
