Mangaluru: There are no plans of sealing down Dakshina Kannada district. The District will be free of Covid-19 disease in the next few days if the people of the District cooperate, Dakshina Kannada MP and State BJP President Nalin Kumar Kateel.

"In the last seven days, there have been no positive cases of COVID-19 in the District. 10-month old Coronavirus patient has also been cured. Coronavirus infection is under control in the District. It was made possible by the cooperation of District authorities and the public. Blocking of Kasaragod and Mangaluru border helped in containing the spread of the infection", he said.

Authorities would take appropriate action against those who prevent health officials and Asha workers from doing their job. Everyone's cooperation is needed to make the district free of coronavirus, MP Nalin Kumar Kateel added.
