Berhampur: The first lot of migrant workers from Surat will reach Ganjam district on Wednesday night. Temporary medical camps (quarantine centres) have been set up at gram panchayats and NACs across the district, where they will be kept for 14 days.
Ganjam Collector Vijay Amruta Kulange has warned people against loitering near these camps. “These people including workers, pilgrims might have contracted COVID-19 and can infect others too,” he said.
Stringent action will be taken against the violators, he said.
“The district has been able to keep the virus at bay with no positive cases being detected so far with people abiding by the lockdown guidelines and we expect the same level of cooperation in future,” the collector added.
