MANGALURU: The district disaster management authority on Saturday denotified containment zone 6 that it had announced for Permannur village in Ullal town municipality limits. The zone was set up with regard to the Covid-19 patient designated P-144, for Smart City and Smart Planet apartment, and was denotified. The district administration hitherto has already denotified three other such zones, based on a report of the DHO, after no new Covid-19 case was reported in the denotified areas in the last 28 days.
The district presently has eight containment zones, in specific areas, at Sampya and Uppinangady in Puttur taluk, Thumbe, B Kasba and Narikombu villages in Bantwal taluk, First Neuro Hospital, Kakkebettu and Padavu villages and Boloor, in Mangaluru City Corporation limits. The containment zones pertain to 14 active cases under treatment, and those who have succumbed to the pandemic in the district, which has recorded three deaths.
In a related development, the district administration has decided to announce its decision on restarting businesses in the district on Sunday. The modalities of the same were discussed at length in a video conference that the chief minister had with the heads of the district administration, earlier in the day. The relaxations will be given based on the district’s overall classification, with no activity permitted in any of the above-mentioned containment zones.
