It is advised to maintain maximum distance during the inspection and to use the N95 mask. The inspection also said that inspection of fish inside vehicles should also be avoided. At the same time, food security officials say they have to work at night in places where there is no infrastructure and have failed to provide adequate security.
The driver of a lorry carrying fish from Karunagappally ∙ has been evacuated after a Kovid-19 was confirmed. Controversially, the driver and cleaner were allowed to spend the night inside the municipal office building. With this, Karunagappally became vigilant. When the incident became controversial, Health Inspector Mohammed Faisal and Jayakumar, who were on security duty, were issued a show cause notice.
The sap of the 23 persons who made their first contact with the driver was collected at the Karunagappally taluk hospital and placed in the quarantine. Three policemen including Ochira CI, 4 members of the Police Patrol Party at Karunagappally, 7 employees including members of the Municipal Council of Health, 4 members of the Ochira Food Safety Unit and others who came to dig up the seized fish. It is unclear why the lorry carrying the fish was taken by the police and handed over to the city health department.
They had spent the night with a security guard. The next day many people came to the municipal office. That morning they went to the tea shop near Kannetti Bridge. It is unclear who was in the meantime. Occasionally, they were housed at the Rehabilitation Center of the Fisheries School. The test results of the cleaner are negative. The municipal office has disinfected it.
Ochira incident not serious: Bindu Krishna
DCC president Bindukrishna alleged that the health department officials did not take seriously the driver and aides who arrived from Andhra, which was a positive in Kollam-Ochira, yesterday. On October 23, the Ochira police handed over the vehicle to which the fish had been loaded, but they stopped and the Karunagappally police caught them.
The Health Department officials then dug up the useless fish at the Karunagappally Fisheries Department School Compound and allowed them to spend the night at the Karunagappally Municipal Office. They entered the isolation ward after drinking tea from the shop nearby. It is a serious mistake that the authorities are not aware of the residence of the Karunagappally Municipal Office.
