After inspecting the ongoing renovation of the swimming pool in Tharuvai Grounds, Dr. Senthil Raj said there was no proposal to handover the swimming to any private agency for operation or maintenance.
He said the public, while coming out of their houses, should compulsorily wear mask and maintain physical distancing as COVID-19 cases were on the rise. Moreover, those who had to take the ‘booster dose’ should take the additional dose without fail in the medical college hospital, government hospitals or the primary health centres so as to get safeguarded from the new variants of COVID-19 also.
“Since we’ve increased the testing capacity to 4,000 a day, those who have COVID-19 symptoms should get screened in the testing centers,” Dr. Senthil Raj said.
