Meanwhile, as a precautionary measure, the Raia residents have requested all the poders and fishermen coming from outside their village, not to venture into Manora Raia for at least three days.
The villagers have taken this stand as they say that the cases have increased and there is fear among the people that they may further increase in the coming days due to contact with affected persons.
The villagers have decided to launch a campaign to make sure social distancing is maintained and hygiene is also upheld to battle the dreadful infection.
Curtorim village has also restricted entry of outsiders into their area following the spike in cases and testing is underway by the Curtorim PHC.
