The district administration on Wednesday announced stronger measures for tackling COVID-19 — especially in the city region — given the concern regarding a possible spike in cases in the district. For closely monitoring the evolving scenario, the administration has opened a ‘District COVID War Room’ at the Collectorate at Kudappanakkunnu. “It will give us a good idea of how the disease is spread in the district,” Ms. Khosa said. The COVID War Room began functioning on the sixth floor of the Collectorate at 4 p.m. on Wednesday. Other facilities in the district include SAT Hospital, SUT Royal Hospital, the District Hospital at Peroorkada, and the General Hospital, Neyyattinkara.
