CHENNAI: The Greater Chennai Corporation will impose a fine of Rs 2,000 on Covid-19 patients under home isolation if they step out, said an official release on Tuesday.
If the offence is repeated, then they will be taken to a Covid care centre (CCC).
Family members of positive patients who are found violating the rules will also be penalised.
There were several complaints about people moving outside their homes despite testing positive for Covid-19.
GCC said 2000 FOCUS volunteers had been assigned to help home-isolated patients avail food and medicines.
