Tension prevailed at Gangadhara Nellore (GD Nellore) mandal headquarters on Monday after a 60-year-old man, who operates a hair salon at the local commercial complex, tested positive for COVID-19 and rushed to the Christian Medical College at Vellore in Tamil Nadu.
Revenue, medical and police officials at the mandal swung into action and turned the commercial complex into a red zone, and started disinfecting the nearby areas.
All those who had visited the salon during the last two weeks were sought to undergo test voluntarily.
The COVID-19 task force officials said testing facilities would be created at the local primary health centre for the convenience of the local people.
