Following a meeting, which was presided by Collector Balwant Singh, all the Nijogs of Jagannath Temple in Puri have been asked to help the administration in the identification process.

A number of servitors have also been infected.

The SJTA has also set up its own COVID Care Centre (CCC) for servitors and temple officials at hotel New Rock Bay on CT Road in Puri. It has tied up with the Panthanivas for the supply of food to all patients.
