THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: More wards in the city corporation limits will be declared as containment zones, Tourism Minister Kadakampally Surendran said here on Sunday. He was addressing media persons after reviewing the Covid-19 status quo for the city.
“There is no need for a complete lockdown in the city for the time being. The number of infected persons in the district is less. However, strict restrictions will be imposed to prevent a situation of community spread. In addition, surveillance will also be intensified,” the minister said.
Meanwhile, the route map of a VSSC employee hailing from Thrikkannapuram was released. The person, among family of three, tested positive for Covid-19 on Friday. The route map also shows numerous other places visited by the person within the capital district.
Kadakampally termed the person’s route map as ‘complicated and a serious matter of concern’. “The same goes with every case detected recently in the capital in which the source of infection is unknown,” the minister said. “There are facilities to pay electricity bills online. But the VSSC employee had ventured out for the bill payment and even attended other functions,” he said.
