As the influx of new COVID-19 cases is on the rise in the district, Collector K. Senthil Raj has ordered conduct of fever clinics across the district. He said the fever clinics that were conducted on 89 places on Tuesday to identify patients suffering from abnormal body temperature and with COVID-19 symptoms, were organised at 100 places including nine places within the Thoothukudi Corporation limits on Wednesday. Though it was a holiday in view of Tamil New Year, officials and doctors participated in these camps to screen the public. Moreover, door-to-door screening is going on to identify the COVID-19 cases. Those who are found to be suffering from abnormal body temperature during these visits would be shifted to the hospital, he said.
