Malkangiri: As Covid cases are increasing in the country and the state, the Malkangiri administration has been on its toes. Some safety and preventive guidelines prepared by the administration have been enforced from Wednesday.
Night curfew has been imposed from 9pm till midnight of March 31. Seven-day home quarantine has been made mandatory for the people coming to Malkangiri from other districts, a report said.
Collector Dr Y Vijay has issued guidelines keeping in view the fact that a large number of people working outside the state are coming home to take part in Badayatra. Besides, the sudden spike of Covid cases (170 persons testing positive in the last 24 hours) in the state, has left the district administration worried.
The district administration has directed people coming from outside to remain in home isolation. It has warned of action against them in case they violate safety guidelines.
During the celebration of the ongoing Badayatra, the district administration imposed night curfew from 9 pm till midnight of March 31.
