    Please certify mahe for testing at the earliest and start testing those quarantined along with their households. 80% people affected by coronavirus are asymptotic or have minor symptoms and thus become super spreaders unknowingly, especially once lockdown is lifted. Without mass testing we fighting a war blind. Mahe certification seems to be a political/bureaucratic issue and no one appears to be trying to sort it out! Testing centre is critical for Udupi.

    People are not very serious especially the men. This lockdown is only for women and children to stay home. Some of the men are carelessly moving around places for playing indoor games and evening parties with friends. Inspite of repeated instruction on social distancing, they still continue to risk everyones life. I request police officers to have rounds in the lanes to see people to avoid social gatherings. Let the officers share some numbers to contact them about the violators of this lockdown. Strict and severe actions must be taken to stop such behavior causing risking people and society life.

    Please take count of remaining cases so that DK will come down in rankings while India is moving swiftly up.
