The administration will consider extending curfew hours if the coronavirus surge continued unabated, Lt. Governor Tamilisai Soundararajan said on Thursday. The Lt. Governor, who chaired the weekly review meeting on the situation at the Raj Nivas with top officials, said the lockdown relaxation for essential shops till noon could be revised to 10 a.m. if the situation did not improve. It was noted that a few patients, who recovered from Covid-19 infection, had contracted the Black Fungus infection (mucormycosis), in Puducherry. Although it's not a contagious disease, it can affect people with diabetes and those with low immunity.
