Mangaluru City Corporation to take strict measures to restrict covid third wave

Mangaluru: To restrict the surge of COVID19 cases and possible third wave, Mangaluru City Corporation has decided to take strict measures.

"From October 16, strict action will be taken against those who are found at public places (including malls) without any documentation proof of receiving COVID19 vaccine," Mangaluru City Corporation Commissioner Akshy Shridhar said in a press statement.

Mangaluru City Corporation is witnessing a decrease in Covid19 positivity cases within its limits. As there are chances of an increase due to the festive season, MCC has decided to increase the vaccination drive and also take some strict measures.

Citizens who are yet to receive first and second doses of vaccines are being identified for vaccination.

"MCC will also organize vaccination drives on October 14, 15, and 16 at various centers in the City limits. From October 16, strict action will be taken against those who are found at public places without documentation proof of receiving COVID19 vaccine," he said.
