Voluntary lockdown in Goa: Carmona

COLVA: Residents of Carmona in Salcete taluka have gone in for a 10-day voluntary lockdown from Friday afternoon as a preventive measure, although not a single Covid-19 case has been reported in the village.
Shop owners have decided to keep their premises open only from 7am to 12 noon.
Sarpanch Allwyn George said the panchayat is not involved in the decision to lockdown and it was the locals who took the decision due to the rising coronavirus cases in the neighbouring villages.
While stating that the panchayat office will function as usual, the sarpanch said the panchayat will soon launch an awareness campaign in the village.
A rumour also spread that Varca villagers were also planning a lockdown.
However, Varca sarpanch Reginald Rodrigues that no one has so far approached him with such a suggestion.
