Sullia
In response to the escalating concerns over the spread of the coronavirus and its variants, the health department has initiated preventive screening at inter-district and inter-state borders within Dakshina Kannada district. Focused efforts are underway at the Sampaje check post, strategically positioned between Sullia and Madikeri on the Mani-Mysuru highway. This location serves as a critical checkpoint for passenger health checks, particularly due to the influx of vehicles from Kerala, where cases of a coronavirus variant have been on the rise. Given the increasing infections in Kerala, health authorities are diligently conducting screenings to identify and mitigate potential risks. The proactive measures aim to curb the spread of the virus and ensure the safety of residents in Dakshina Kannada. Simultaneously, all hospitals in the district are gearing up to address any potential challenges that may arise, demonstrating a collective preparedness to tackle the evolving situation and safeguard the community’s health.
