The district had reported 35,027 positive cases and 182 deaths in May, two-third of which were reported in rural areas.

The committee will comprise village panchayat president, panchayat secretary, village administrative officer, village health nurse and a police inspector. Also, taluk officers and block development officers should support the committee and carry out preventive measures.
