The rapidly rising cases of Covid-19 infection due to the highly-contagious Omicron variant has forced the Puducherry administration to tighten its border surveillance in order to prevent the spread of the virus from neighbouring states.

In a press release on Saturday, District Collector E Vallavan said that a joint meeting of officials of the Revenue, Health, Police and Local Administration departments was convened to decide stricter measures to keep a tight vigil on the resurge of cases.

“Preventive measures were discussed and decided at the meeting, including enforcement of steps with immediate effect to strengthen surveillance at the border points by teams comprising health officials and the police,” he said.

The new order aims to screen the entry of people into Puducherry who have at least one dose of vaccination, and also identify people with symptoms.

Puducherry has four entry points from Tamil Nadu – Dindivanam, Cuddalore, Villupuram and Marakkanam (ECR segment).

Vallavan said that officials of the Revenue, Local Administration, Labour, Health, Police and Municipalities will conduct joint inspections to keep a close watch on hotels, malls, market places, theatres and gatherings at wedding functions.

The teams are entrusted with the responsibility ensure complete adherence to Covid-appropriate behaviour.

“If they find any lapse of shortcoming in following the safety norms, the officials would seal the premises particularly with repeated violations. All commercial establishments should ensure that hand sanitisers and thermal scanners were in place on their premises and there should be markings for social distancing by customers,” he said, according to news agency PTI.

Hotels, lodges and restaurants must also introduce necessary changes in the booking system to ensure only vaccinated people are let in.

“The administration has launched several preventive measures as there was a surge in the number of Covid-19 cases in Puducherry,” Vallavan reportedly said.

The Union Territory has an active caseload of 280 as of today and Puducherry city region alone accounted for 234 cases of the new infections.
