    Time for Udupi, Chikamagaluru, Hassan and Kodagu to close their borders with Dakshina Kannada district to prevent spread.🥴 The earlier it is done , better prevention of spread. Entry only on negative rTPCR report in last 72 hrs. After this taluk level border closure 🥴

    Also teachers and staff. Govt focusing entirely on first dose which provides only 30% protection also fully vaccinated can STILLspread the virus.
