District Health and Family Welfare Officer Dr K Mohan said that the Plantation Owners and Coffee Workers' Associations presidents have been asked to ensure that the labourers from Kodagu do not go to Kerala, as a part of precautionary measure against the spread of Covid-19 in the district.
He said that the rapid response teams, both at the district and taluk levels, have kept a tight vigil at Kutta, Makutta, Karike and Sampaje areas which share borders with Kerala. Teams of health personnel have been deployed in these areas, he added.
