Health Department moots increase in working hours of shops
Mobility data analysed by the Health Department has revealed overcrowding in supermarkets, grocery shops, and pharmacy stores in Ernakulam. The district health wing has suggested an increase in the working hours based on the inference that overcrowding could have occurred owing to time restrictions applicable to such facilities. An increase in working hours may reduce crowd. Physical distancing and use of masks have to be ensured in public places to check the pandemic spread, with the help of the police and other enforcement agencies, according to an analysis of the COVID-19 situation in the district by the Health Department.More Related News
