The police will ensure supplies to the public by delivering the essentials on their
doorstep
Ever since March 31 only one case has been reported from the district in a week
taking the total number of cases from the district to 27
What were the challenges the administration faced in imposing these
extraordinary measures
The biggest challenge that the administration faced was containing the rising
number of cases after the initial outbreak The doctors of the private hospital who
had tested positive had come into contact with numerous people including the staff
and patients who visited the private hospital during the period when the doctors
were already infected
Some of these patients had come from other states and after the first case of COVID-
19 was detected in the district several other cases mostly contact of the doctors

The police will ensure supplies to the public by delivering the essentials on their

Ever since March 31 only one case has been reported from the district in a week
taking the total number of cases from the district to 27
What were the challenges the administration faced in imposing these
extraordinary measures
The biggest challenge that the administration faced was containing the rising
number of cases after the initial outbreak The doctors of the private hospital who
had tested positive had come into contact with numerous people including the staff
and patients who visited the private hospital during the period when the doctors
were already infected
Some of these patients had come from other states and after the first case of COVID-
19 was detected in the district several other cases mostly contact of the doctors
and the infected hospital staff were reported with each passing day

and patients who visited the private hospital during the period when the doctors
were already infected
Some of these patients had come from other states and after the first case of COVID-
19 was detected in the district several other cases mostly contact of the doctors
and the infected hospital staff were reported with each passing day

Ever since March 31 only one case has been reported from the district in a week
taking the total number of cases from the district to 27
What were the challenges the administration faced in imposing these
extraordinary measures
The biggest challenge that the administration faced was containing the rising
number of cases after the initial outbreak The doctors of the private hospital who
had tested positive had come into contact with numerous people including the staff
and patients who visited the private hospital during the period when the doctors
were already infected
Some of these patients had come from other states and after the first case of COVID-
19 was detected in the district several other cases mostly contact of the doctors
and the infected hospital staff were reported with each passing day
