The number of COVID-19 cases increasing in rural areas of the district has started impacting the local economic activities. There are villages that had 200 to 300 cases. The reasons for the spread may be many - those who were employed in other cities and towns returned to the villages when the lockdown was announced and some of them were COVID-19 positive; there is no control of people visiting houses to supply milk or vegetables; and there are crowds in front of PDS outlets, banks, etc. The public, too, are aware of the need to be careful, but are not alert in following the precautions. They still go out for condolences and at least two or three people test positive. In some places, the cases have reduced in the last two days, say sources.
