Shivamogga Deputy Commissioner K.B. Shivakumar has appealed to people in the district to follow COVID-19 guidelines strictly as the number of positive cases has been on the rise in the last week. At a press conference in Shivamogga on Friday, he said people have to wear face masks, and maintain physical distance in public places. The officers would impose a penalty on those violate the guidelines in markets, commercial complexes, and marriage halls. The shopkeepers should insist on customers wearing face masks, he said. “In the last one week, the officers collected ₹1.63 lakh against 1,016 cases of violation,” he said.
