The coastal belt of Thrissur is bearing the brunt of the rough sea in the wake of low pressure formed over the Arabian Sea. Relief camps have been opened at Eriyad, Edavilangu and Sreenarayanapuram panchayats in Kodungallur taluk. There are 83 people in the camps. It has been reported that people are reluctant to shift to the camps fearing the spread of COVID-19. Many prefer to move to their relatives’ places. But authorities have started conducting antigen tests for people being shifted to the camps. Those who test positive are being shifted to first-line treatment centres.
