Most people chose to stay indoors, only restaurants open for takeaways
Roads in the capital city wore an almost deserted look on Saturday as movement restrictions similar to last year’s lockdown were clamped down for the weekend, in view of the rising number of COVID-19 cases.
A majority of the public chose to stay indoors as the district administration had said that people should venture out only if absolutely necessary, in a bid to break the spread of the virus.
The 48-hour lockdown- like curbs imposed by the Kerala government following unprecedented COVID-19 suge, came into force in the state with only essential services and emergency activities being allowed and a holiday declared for government offices and PSUs. Police carried out intense vehicle check across the state since early this morning to ensure that nobody ventured out on roads and public places unnecessarily. In all major thoroughfares, police personnel could be seen stopping both two-wheelers and cars and verifying the identity cards and mandatory self-declaration to know their purpose of the travel. According to police sources, those travelling for needy and genuine purpose would not be stopped.
